Welcome to the Citadel Museum. The Citadel is a 16th-century fortress, so you will have to forego some comforts during your visit. The rooms are not heated, parts of the complex are outdoors, and some areas are not wheelchair accessible. However, you will be rewarded with an authentic 16th-century castle fortress.
Our fortress is quite cool. This is a pleasure in the hot summer, but in winter we adjust our opening hours to the temperatures.
Free admission on the first Sunday of every month.
