Guided Story
Can you feel the breeze rustling through the leaves? Behind you, the impressive silhouette of the Upper Castle stands, once a shared stronghold of archbishops and counts. But there's a story many overlook. Look up at the ornately crafted windows. Legend has it, one of them is haunted by an old lord who couldn't let go. Inside the museum, you'll find a collection of paintings that take you through centuries. The industrial section is particularly intriguing—imagine the machines clattering away in the past. And as you exit, don’t forget to glance at the Rubens fountain, just a short walk away.
