Getting There
In the castle's fifth courtyard.

Why Go

The theater was rebuilt in 1766, and its wooden machinery for flying gods and changing scenes in seconds survives with costumes and props. Small tours run on certain days, and the stage is used for a few performances a year.

Tips

  • Book well ahead; tours are small and often sold out.
