It was so beautiful. Best to visit in summer to click really good pictures as you can see. We didn’t enter all the sections in the palace as it required tickets. But we enjoyed the park, which is so huge and breathtaking especially the view of the castle. We sat near the lake, which was so peaceful. The view of the lake on one side and the castle on other, such a fairytale.

😍The best part of the castle are the gardens! Beautiful spots to take a lot of pictures; we saw a lot of brides and grooms.
🎟️Entrance to the garden is free. To enter the castle you can buy your ticket there, no need to make online reservations. Check out the restaurant in the gardens, it looks like a greenhouse.
♿️ accesible for people with restricted mobility and strollers.

The guide on the upper level of the castle was very friendly and explained the stories behind the stone carvings on the walls to me—it was truly fascinating! She also helped clear up some of my questions about the castle’s architecture. I’m very grateful.

I‘m definitely going in summer again, loved the entire vibe. Definitely, something worth checking out, the cafe was amazing, don’t rush the entire , enjoy every bit of minute, you shouldn’t be having regret of not being there for more time.

Really beautiful castle. Courtyard is lovely to sit in as well. Live music during our visit. The Outside is quite lovely to walk around. Be sure to check out the gardens!

Was a nice day at the castle, the outside was more beautiful than the inside for us. The weather was great so made the atmosphere even better, I have to say seems like this part of Germany is the beautiful part. Definitely recommend visiting!

Beautiful Castle!
However quite a lot of people there. The Tour is great and you can also borrow a chair so you can sit at all times. The Corridors are sometimes very narrow and some Tour guides are speaking rather quietly (for me personally was it not too bad, however for some people [especially older] was it a problem) so you can’t stand too far away from them.
Overall a great place!!!

The architecture and golden domes are incredible. The beautiful gardens and the views from the bridge is really good.
