One of the best castles in Germany, with an impressive history. Great organzation behind is constantly maintaining the castle with so much love and dedication. It's really a pleasure to discover the castle through their eyes on a tour. So absolutely worth a trip whenever you're around this area. You can wander along the beautiful castle gardens and enjoy their delicious coffee & cake - tastes like at home with grandma- in their Schlosscafé. You can discover some interesting facts also inside the castle. If you're lucky enough there might be a concert to join as well.

Beautiful old castle in need of some renovation. The guided tour was really informative and the renovations that have been completed look great. The cafe was open when I visited and the staff there were very friendly and my cappuccino was really nice.

Beautiful castle, consisting of the Old Part and the New House. It's truly worth a visit.

Got to tour inside with the open house today. I enjoyed it because it was a little more down to earth. Very grand, indeed, but there was so much beauty in it's flaws, in it's cracked walls and sloping staircase. I loved seeing the age and wear of the stones. The tapestry room is absolutely amazing. Its age and wear just adds to its beauty as well.

Absolutely stunning. On the day of our visit there was a small classic concert hosted, which made the experience even more memorable

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
