A decent Castle conquest
should be well prepared...
Guided Tours
For individually travelling visitors we offer guided tours through the interior rooms in German language, which start regularly every day and last about 45 minutes. Information about guided tours in foreign languages you find here. The Castle complex, both Castle chapels and the Casemates (cellars) can be seen without a guide. The interior rooms can only be accessed with a tour guide.
Photography:
It is not allowed to take pictures (also without flash) as well as filming in the show rooms.
Wheelchair user
Wheelchair user can, of course, take their wheelchairs to the interior rooms.
To get inside there is a staircase with 25 steps (up and down) to surmount.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide qualified staff to give assistance. Please
decide by yourself on the practicability and if surmount is possible, please
arrange the step-up and step-down with the help of own assistants. We willingly
grant free entrance to two escorts per wheelchair-using guest.
The
last room of every guided tour is the Treasury which is accessible from the
courtyard at ground level. Therefore, accessibility with a wheelchair causes no
problem. For further information please

Guests who need a walking aid/crutch/walking stick can use it in the interior
rooms as long as it is rubberized and does not damage the floor or furniture.
Long, sharp or pointed objects like hiking sticks or umbrellas are not allowed

duration of the guided tour.
