What a beautiful castle! My dad had lived in the smaller building not too far from the schloss back in the 70s/80s so I mostly went to see that, but of course one cannot skip seeing a palace. The schloss and neighboring town of Memmelsdorf are not major tourist attractions so the visit was a little more peaceful than some other schloss visits.

And although the restaurant had its share of bees, the food was very good and the service...

Cute castle that comprises a beautiful, expansive park with old linden trees, citrus plants, a pond, a cascade (the water plays start every hour for about 8 minutes), several statues, and a café. The interior of the castle has about twelve rooms open to visitors which one can visit only with a guided tour in German (there are leaflets with information about each room available for foreigners). Although not impressive and with many of the original objects/decorations lost or destroyed and then replaced with copies, the rooms are still worth seeing. Even though I visited on Saturday, it wasn't crowded and there was also ample...
