Fascinating museum inside the castle. The various pharmacy instruments are very interesting and come with plenty of information describing what was going on during that time period. The rooms are easy to navigate and there are a few smaller rooms that are tucked away so make sure to look at those.

It is very interested museum. I liked it a lot because there were many boards with interesting information and everything was very nicely explained in German and English language. Entry fee is included in 9€ ticket to the castle yard. The only thing that was not explained is how is this pharmacy connected to the castle. Overall it was the only interesting thing from the castle that you can purchase for 9 euros.

A very interesting and informative museum containing thousands of pharmaceutical items to show the history and evolution of medicine. The hundreds years old apothecaries jars, cabinets and tools are amazing to look at. There are numerous plants and animal bones and horns that are displayed as ancient medicine. The information are provided both in German and English. You could spend as little as 30 minutes or as much as a couple of hours there depending on how much interest you have into apothecary items.

Nice museum with adequate information given in German and English. Wide exhibition of raw materials (plants, animals, minerals) used historically and currently. There are also some nice to see items like equipments used to prepare medicine and pharmaceutical travel bags.

Good journey, informative and interactive!
English friendly :))

I love the walking design and every stop is very interesting. It is worth a visit to learn more about the history of pharmacy and how it evolves to date.

Very interesting place. There were a couple of rooms, as well as many old packages and some medical instruments.

I, personally, did not understand the tools and machines in the laboratory - information about the various items would have been nice.

Very interesting to see how the properties of plants were used especially in the Middle Ages.
Of interest is also the furniture with which the pharmacies were equipped at that time.
Congratulations to those who did the work of collecting all these exhibits.
