This is a skeleton of a knight immured to the wall and behind there is a nice legend (read below).

Text of the legend of the immured knight. I don't think the bishop really represent God of love and forgiveness. He was just any man who like power, (and this is still unchanged nowadays).

Another attraction of the castle is to go up on the roof and enjoy the view. This is me standing on the roof with one of the 2 towers behind.

There is also a cafeteria in the upper level of the castle with large windows offering fantastic views. Instead of a coffee we took ice cream, and as you can see it was a good choice. Highly recommended!!!
