About
16th-century castle with black walls, featuring an armory and views from six floors.
This 16th-century castle stands out with its black façades. Inside, visitors climb six steep levels in socks to explore historical weapons and armor collections. The upper floors offer views over the city and surrounding park from narrow observation points.
