Code of Conduct
Welcome to Schloss Drachenburg!
Please remember that you are on the grounds of a listed architectural monument, the character of which we would like to preserve. Please note too that these grounds are private.To make your stay as pleasant as possible and to ensure your safety on this cultural heritage site, we would request you to adhere to the following Code of Conduct.
1. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask our staff in the Schloss Drachenburg reception area or the supervisors in the castle itself.
2. The entire area is listed as a historical monument and may not be altered. That area includes the castle complex and the parkland which features both steps and steep pathways. We would draw your attention to the uneven ground surface and to the danger of tripping up – both indoors and outdoors. That being so, you will appreciate that we cannot accept liability for any damage to personal property caused by simple negligence. This means in effect that you enter the grounds of Schloss Drachenburg at your own risk. If you decide to leave the paths, we would respectfully ask you to take extra care so that you do not place yourself at risk on terrain that is impassable in parts. Please note that only limited winter maintenance service, or none at all, is provided in certain areas and on certain pathways.
3. Please act with consideration for other visitors. Refrain from any conduct that may annoy others or put them at risk. We reserve the right to treat any contravention of this rule as a breach of the peace and take appropriate action.
4. Open fires and barbecues are forbidden.
5. The consumption of food and drink in the castle and exhibition rooms is prohibited. You are also asked not to consume food and drink brought from outside in the Schloss Drachenburg bistro and restaurant.
6. Please note that you are not allowed to use hiking sticks or other sticks in the castle or the front building. However, this rule does not apply to walking aids designed for medical purposes.
7. It is not permitted to take dogs or other animals into the castle and exhibition. Elsewhere in the grounds, dogs must be kept on a leash. Help us to keep the Schloss Drachenburg grounds clean and tidy by cleaning up after your dog if necessary.
8. Teachers, group leaders, parents and legal guardians are responsible for the behaviour of the children and young people in their charge.
