Parking in the Castle Courtyard is for the princely family and their employees only. Visitors may park in the various designated public parking areas outside the castle complex and princely park, free of charge.
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.
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.
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.
For safety and security, we do not allow any form of rucksack, large bags, or tripods into the Castle. We suggest bags and photographic equipment of this description be left locked in your car.
Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere in the Castle, or within the grounds of the Castle Courtyard.
Eating and drinking are not allowed inside the castle.
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!
Visitors will find a selection of cafés, ice cream vendors, pubs and restaurants just outside the castle’s main gates. More options are available in the lower town, a five-minute walk below the castle. For those who’d like to see more of the surrounding area, everything from fine restaurants to country pubs are available only a twenty to thirty minutes' drive away in the villages of Wingeshausen and Jagdhaus, and the towns of Bad Laasphe and Oberkirchen.
