We're on the rise!

The current situation also has Heinfels Castle firmly under control. Construction work has resumed after the obligatory break and we are continuing to work flat out to complete the museum.

We're on the rise!

We hope to be able to welcome the first guests to the castle in summer and are already looking forward to it very much! When exactly and under which conditions a visit will be possible, we unfortunately cannot say at this time. Due to the latest developments, we have already postponed the opening ceremony of the castle, which was planned for the beginning of June, until 26/27. 9. 2020.
