While the castle itself is visually impressive, I personally felt that visiting it was not the best use of my time. 🥲 The surrounding area is poorly maintained and lacks proper accessibility, which takes away from the experience. It’s important to note that visitors are not allowed inside the castle—entry is blocked, and the entrance appears neglected. 🥺 As a result, we couldn’t explore the interior. The area could benefit from better organization to enhance the visitor experience. That said, since it’s close to the city center, you could still include it in your itinerary for a quick 5–10 minute stop to admire the exterior 💓

Neat to look at but very rundown all around. Weeds growing everywhere, dead trees, overgrown grass, and busted concrete make up the surrounding area. Could be neat if money was put into the landscaping but instead you have people sleeping on parking benches or kids making out (or worse) on them. Did not feel safe taking kids up there. I tried to only take pics of the good parts.

This is a very fine place to find free parking for a visit to the old town. There are some free parking spots and some that should not be used, but the locals do, and we could not see any parking tickets. It is only 10 min walk to the central area of the old town.

Could be great, but fenced off from afar, falling into ruins, and not kept up. Could be a great museum or place to visit with such historical value.

we were there today, apparently the castle has not been working for a long time. it is closed. It is surrounded by a net. You can only walk in the park around it, which is not impressive. I do not recommend it for a visit

The castle would be beautiful, but it is not renovated and some of its parts are falling apart. Because of this, there is an ugly fence around it and it cannot be entered. You can take some photos from the small park in front of the castle, but the park has also seen better times.
