Steep climb - secured with rope at the end

The four corners of the castle are aligned exactly in the four cardinal directions, otherwise the building is rather irregularly designed from several structures of different sizes and heights. The four main wings enclose a narrow atrium. The maiden building and the Catholic chapel on the ground floor of the former tower are slightly exposed. Inside, architectural styles from all building periods have been preserved. The cellar vaults in the basement are of medieval origin, the other floors have Gothic, lavishly profiled wooden ceilings and walls, such as in the large hall in the northeast wing and in the keep. On the first floor of the west wing there are rooms designed in the Renaissance style, such as the large entrance hall with twisted columns. Numerous rooms with baroque stucco ceilings have been preserved from the last construction phase. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Str%C3%B6ssendorf/
