We visited the castle building area in April. We chose the guided tour in English, which was super informative and interesting. Definitely worth visiting, thanks for the experience!
Viewing a castle being built in the historical way is very cool to see. From how they carve the stone, to building the wood scaffolding, to the ovens is amazing. The tour guides are awesome. They offer it in english as well as german. They are very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. So much so, we invited them to Oktoberfest. Such a great, Unique experience.
Amazing experience with a very friendly tour guide who explained us the details of the ongoing process of building a castle in the old ways. I hope we can come back in 10 years to see the progress! Totally worthwhile.
We were there on a quiet Saturday. Our tour group consisted of only four people which resulted in a very personal experience. Because your visiting a working construction site it's not possible to wander of on your own, a tour is mandatory. It was amazing to see the hard work of the people working on creating this castle. It's a unique way to see history and craftsmanship in action. Our guide was very friendly and could answer all our questions.
Impressive project to build a medieval castle with original tools and techniques. Interesting tour that feels like a trip back in time.
Superr Place for family for planning and enjoy 😉 😊
Just fantastic that they are recreating a castle and it'll take about 40 yrs
This is a really great opportunity to learn quite a bit about what life was like in the middle ages, at least as a worker building a castle. They are actually building one with authentic tools and methods! The tour was very good, all in German.

Despite the name, there are by far not just Porsche cars. It's an impressive collection of cars, motorcycles and even an airplane. The two parts of the museum provide unique travel through time, from the very first automobile by Carl Benz in 1885/86 to contemporary cars like a Formula One race car.
A fabulos collection ! I liked it very much . There are two collections , old timer and sports car . Both are fabulos !
Absolutely must see incredible models of cars motorbikes in perfect condition
Very disconcerting: it's un 'unmanned' museum (no staff) where you have to enter by buying an entry coin. You can only pay with cash coins. The machine should accept bank notes but it doesn't. Payment with credit or debet card is not an option. Incredible in 2019. We drove 30 min to get there to find this out.
(Translated by Google) An absolute must for every car, motorcycle and tractor lover The condition of the vehicles is simply top The presentation is also great There is no staff available. You pay the entrance fee at a machine and the door opens. At the same time, the lights inside the great building go on and the music plays. You can stay as long as you want There is a film on the top floor with comfortable seating. We were alone when we were there. Unique, I've never seen anything like it!!!! The entrance by bus is also great. Very much attention to detail. Absolutely worth the price of admission. Only recommended! Like coming into another world. (Original) Ein absolutes muss für jeden Auto, Motorrad und Traktor Liebhaber Der Zustand der Fahrzeuge ist einfach nur Top Auch die Darstellung super Es ist kein Personal vorhanden. Man bezahlt den Eintritt an einem Automat und die Türe öffnet sich. Gleichzeitig geht dann im inneren des tollen Gebäudes das Licht an und die Musik läuft. Man kann sich aufhalten so lange man will Im obersten Etage läuft ein Film mit bequemen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Wir waren als wir dort waren allein . Einzigartig, hab ich so noch nie gesehen!!!! Der Eingang mit dem Bus ist auch super. Sehr viel Liebe zum Detail. Absolut den Eintritt Wert. Nur zu empfehlen! Als wenn man in eine andere Welt kommt.
(Translated by Google) The exhibition is great. The entrance fee is automated, you can buy coins at the hotel. This information is not included at the entrance to the museum. (Original) A kiállítás szuper. Automatizált a beléptetes , a hotelben lehet érmét venni. Ez sz információ a múzeum bejáratánál nem szerepel.
