"The castle is largely freely accessible (except for the attic of the castle). A StayOkay hostel is located in the castle and the accompanying coach houses. The former orangery houses the Terra Maris museum. Furthermore, a replica of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle has been erected in the garden of the castle."
