The stones that make up the castle's 16.5-foot-thick walls, built between 1472 and 1500, were so precisely cut that no mortar was used between them. They were designed so that the more they were pounded by attacks from the outside, the stronger they held together. (Jens Muller)

To prevent fires, medieval cooks used coals that were heated in a separate area of the castle. They later placed the coals in multiple stoves to prepare big banquets. The castle's kitchen is still used today during medieval festivals. (Courtesy Freiherr Jüergen von Dörnberg)
