Om
Hurtige fakta: Røde murstensvægge rejser sig 25 meter høje, deres gotiske former blandet med renæssance- og baroktilføjelser fra senere århundreder. Over 30 forskellige arkitektoniske stilarter er vævet ind i dette ene kompleks, et resultat af næsten 500 års kontinuerligt byggeri og genopbygning.
Højdepunkter: Gå gennem hovedporten og bemærk skiftet fra røde mursten til hvidkalkede vægge, et bevidst designtrick, der får slottet til at fremstå større indefra. Underjordiske tunneller strækker sig over 200 meter under voldgraven og forbinder slottet med et skjult kapel, som kun en håndfuld besøgende nogensinde finder.
Insidertips
- Arrive right when gates open at 10 AM to explore the main halls before tour groups arrive around noon.
- Climb the southwestern tower for the best overhead view of the moat and the surrounding lake system.
- Skip the on-site restaurant and pack a picnic instead; the grassy area near the northern pond is perfect and rarely crowded.
- Wear comfortable shoes with grip, the spiral staircases in the towers are steep and polished smooth from centuries of use.
