Has potential, very rough at the moment, but will be awesome when it's finished.

It could be great if there was actual information in Google that the castle is closed for private party. Nobody bothered to write about this so people won't have to drive from far with kids to the castle.

This has to be the quaintest, cutest castle I’ve ever visited. I came here with two of my daughters ages 5 and 3 years with VERY limited time (30 minutes) due to having tours at the nearby mines and having left the house on preschooler time. I had read conflicting reviews about parking near the castle but found a small nearby lot on Google maps and parked there, about 2 minutes walk from the castle. Once up close I saw I could definitely have parked closer, but the short walk was nice anyway. There was a good amount of construction going on to the castle exterior which made photo taking less than ideal but obviously we are thankful for the work they were doing! We walked around outside for a few minutes enjoying the amazing view of Schloss Bosselstein and the valley then went through the castle gate. First you walk through the outdoor courtyard which has very patio seating with a great atmosphere and view. I wish we could have sat and relaxed for a few minutes there, it was so peaceful! Then we went into the interior of the castle. We were met by a very kind, warm woman who spoke great English and assured me we could see the whole castle in our time constraints. She gave me my ticket (I was 3 euro, my kids were free) and a piece of paper that explained the Rooms in English and off we went. I would guess there are about 10 rooms total but they are all in great repair (I assume reconstructed) and beautifully decorated. I could have lingered at least an hour overall but we just barely saw the whole castle in the time we had. The bathrooms were clean. Overall this was a fantastic little castle to visit, and I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing views and scenery. Prime real estate for the time it was built and even today. A hike up the hill but the view is worth it. Wish they served bier today.
