Fatal, aquí dice que está abierto las 24 horas y es totalmente falso. La sensación es lo peor cuando decides hacer cientos de kilómetros para encontrar una puerta cerrada, y sin tan siquiera encontrar un panfleto con horarios... 500 km para nada.

Parece cerrado casi permanentemente: sin ninguna indicación de horario en el castillo o por Internet. Buena rehabilitación hecha pero ¿cuándo se podrá apreciar?
