Description of the facility

The castle is inaccessible for wheelchair users and only partially accessible for other persons with disabilities. The access path from the parking area to the castle is 130 m long, unpaved (gravel), and sloped, making independent use by wheelchair users impossible.
The reception desk, gift shop, and chapel at the main entrance are accessed via two steps. Exhibition spaces on the ground floor are accessible directly from the castle courtyard, but the entrances have high unbridged thresholds or steps. One of the rooms serves as a small hall with movable chairs.
Access to the first floor, which contains the wedding hall and additional exhibition rooms, is possible only via stairs. The halls are not equipped with hearing loops. Access to the castle tavern is also only by stairs, while the castle terrace is conditionally accessible from the outside due to unsuitable paving.
The courtyard paving is too rough, preventing independent wheelchair movement.
There are no adapted restrooms; the toilets are accessible only via stairs from the courtyard.
