Very beautiful and historical place. Friendly staff, exciting museum exhibits. Must plan at least 1h for a visit.

Very very beautiful small castle. Around this castle there were several churches, abandoned buildings, etc. All of those made very original atmosphere that you won't feel the same in any other famous sightseeing spot. Definitely want to visit this town again!
