Accessibility

We welcome all visitors to Berleburg, but please note that due to the age and architecture of the palace, slippery floors, uneven surfaces, and narrow, winding stairs are an unavoidable aspect of visiting our home.  The inside of the castle is not suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs, or buggies of any kind. If in doubt, please call ahead for more information.   Im Zweifelsfall rufen Sie bitte vorher an, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.   

Restrooms

Please be advised that there is no possibility to use the restrooms during the tours! However, visitors will have access to the restrooms in the Ticket Office both before and after the tours. 

Photography 

It is prohibited to take photographs (by camera or smartphone) inside the castle.  For our policies concerning photography in the Castle Courtyard and Princely Park, please click here.   

Bags 

For safety reasons, it is not permitted to take backpacks, large bags or tripods into the lock. We recommend that you lock bags and photographic equipment of this type in your vehicle.

Smoking and Vaping 

Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere in the Castle, or within the grounds of the Castle Courtyard.

Food 

Eating and drinking are not allowed inside the castle.   

Dogs 

We love dogs – we have five of our own who you might catch a glimpse of or hear barking. Unfortunately, we cannot welcome visitors’ dogs into the castle. We do, however, happily make an exception for guide dogs and all dogs are, of course, welcome in the Castle Courtyard and Park,  provided  they are kept on a lead at all  times. Thank you for your understanding!
