Guided tours, audio‑guides and climate‑controlled galleries make the site accessible to all ages, while interactive displays highlight the castle’s architectural evolution and the everyday life of its former inhabitants. The museum’s centrally located courtyard offers a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls, and its surrounding parks and waterway provide scenic views that complement the rich historical narrative.
