The best-preserved Baroque theatre in Europe in its original building: orchestra pit, stage, the wooden machinery that changed the scenery, the sets themselves, librettos and costumes. The guided tour goes down beneath the stage to see how it worked. Because it is so fragile, groups are small: buy on the castle website as soon as you know your day.

Opening hours and prices can change: check them before you go.
