- Pay attention to the opening of the Castle doors and the stairs because, in the medieval castle, they do not always meet the contemporary requirements. Moving around in the castle takes place at the visitor’s own risk.
- Be considerate of other visitors and what is happening in the building (excursion groups, educational programs, special events).
- During outbreaks of diseases, please keep a greater distance from other visitors, disinfect your hands, and wear a mask if necessary.
- Please leave larger items and bags in the wardrobe; we ask you to place them in lockers.
- Overcoats can be left in the wardrobe if desired, but in colder weather, we recommend that you leave them on while staying in the castle.
