Fair price to get some rich insights into the history and significance of these two buildings. Guided tours are to this date still the only way to visit the main building and although the tour is given in German, audio guides are supplied in other languages, among which English. Using a simple numeric code for each room, you'll still get the full information. The gardens separating the Castle from the hunting lodge are well maintained and provide a nice area for a short walk, with a 2.5 km walk (one way) at least if you choose to walk to the lodge, adding the same to get back to your car... Parking at the train station was quite reasonable at 1 Euro per hour. Get in early if you don't want to risk waiting in line just to get into the parking lot!

The palace was actually pretty cool but not overwhelmingly so, with the exception of the main entrance with the grand staircase. The next two rooms are interesting as well but not as much. The second best room is definitely the summer dining room at the end of the tour. I was not thrilled with the "English speaking" tour guide. She was fairly difficult to understand, which was partially because of her mask but probably more so because she mispronounced various words. I cannot comment on the gardens because they were sadly closed.

A beautiful place with a fantastic history. The area is so large that I recommend it for a day trip. It is worth noting that people who do not speak German can get a guide in their own language in the ticket price.
