The royal fortress in its Gothic form was damaged by the explosion of a powder magazine and two entire wings had to be demolished and rebuilt in Renaissance style. In the past two centuries the castle has been further modified. There is the Janda Museum with an exhibition of the tools and implements of the last executioner, as well as a price list for the acts. In the alchemists' workshop we find curves, a melting furnace and mortars of all sizes. There is also a dining room with a beautiful fireplace, sumptuous bay windows and a stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling. From the courtyard, the remains of the outer fortifications with keyed loopholes can be seen.
