Important information for people with walking or visual impairments:
The listed building is unfortunately not sufficiently barrier-free for visitors with walking or visual impairments. This also applies to the surroundings in the old town with its historic cobblestones. Nevertheless, we are happy to try to find individual solutions for people with disabilities.
Please call us or write to us.
The entrance fee is of course reduced on presentation of a disabled person's pass.
