The museum has about 80% of the original interior furnishings from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The castle's interior and furnishings have been meticulously recreated based on historical research results. Music concerts are held in the summer, both in the castle halls and outdoors. The palace is sometimes called Princess Daisy's Palace, referring to Daisy, Princess of Pless, who used to live there a century ago. Her bench stands in front of the castle gate.
