Beyond the cars and vehicular history, the park and landscaping is beautiful and during Christmas time there were lots of activities. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This is a beautiful castle and the surrounding gardens is very nice too. The area is not too big and it is very pleasant to stroll in the park.

We came here as part of a group. We did the english tour where as our relatives did the german tour. I did notice that at the beginning whre the your starts the german tour included lowering the items which hang from the ceiling but on or english tour this was not demonstrated to us. Our tour started where the model of the pump was. The children were well incuded in the tour and one of our grandchildren who is scared of the dark was offered a torch. The interesting part of the tour was the end part where we climbed the many many stairs up a ladder to get back to surface. We did not spend much time in the land museums afterwards.

We found this place by a pure chance, and we felt so lucky! The castle is beautiful and well-preserved, and it has amazing views on the town and the park. It is also suitable to visit with children. The entrance fee is about 5 euros per person which is cheap comparing to other, more well-known castles. There are also less visitors there so it would be a perfect place for someone who loves history/architecture and can't stand crowds. There are also plenty of nice cafes nearby, and the town itself is marvelous. I would definitely recommend it as a day trip, and I am going to visit there again!

We visited Meyer Werft in March with CLIA Europe. We had a tour around the yard with an English speaking guide. He explained everything very clearly. We so P &)0 Iona ready to leave the yard and Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the seas and Saga's Spirit of Adventure were being built.

Wow , what a great place , nicely set out and very informative . Huge collection of Tanks , including those from other nations than Germany such as Russia , Britain and of course the USA . Very reasonable entry price , especially the family ticket at just 15 Euros . Well worth a visit , which done comprehensively will take at least an hour .
