It is a pleasure to just stroll around the castle following your nose. However, some of the attractions and spaces can only be visited by joining our guided tours. Experienced guides will reveal some of the hidden corners and shed light on the historical details of the castle. It is always worth listening to the stories from behind the castle walls, which still stir the imagination today.
