Access to the castle is seasonal, available only during warmer months when the building opens to visitors. Guided tours are conducted in local languages and focus on the architecture and regional heritage.
Each room displays different Art Nouveau patterns on its floor tiles, showcasing geometric designs from that era. This collection of tilework is an overlooked detail that many visitors miss.
