Special features of the venues
Please note that some of our venues differ from modern concert halls in terms of acoustics, climate and construction. This applies in particular to the former stables on the castle grounds, which exude a special rustic atmosphere and charm thanks to their wooden floorboards, preserved cribs and half-timbered supports. Viewing restrictions may occur due to the pillars, which do not entitle you to ticket returns or discounts.
