In fact, there are only a limited number of rooms that can be visited with a guided tour. No photos except for one room and after the tour you are elegantly led through a café. Otherwise there is a visitor center/shop where you can invest your money in souvenirs. If you still have a little time, you can make your way to the Walled Garden, which is a few minutes away and is very beautiful and well-kept.

A very beautiful and well-kept garden, even in autumn, which is worth a visit if you have some time at the castle. (You do have to walk a bit to get there, though - so don't despair, even if you think that nothing more can come...). In addition to many flowers, fruit and vegetables, there are also labyrinths mown in the grass...
