Costs about 17 euro to gain entrance to the grounds/garden. Can't go inside the castle. Now it is a hotel and access is limited.

Cannot enter the castle unless staying there as a guest. It was too wet and rainy to enjoy paying the fee to enjoy the gardens on the property.

Cost $10 a person just to drive up to castle and walk around. Despite what I read online, we were not allowed into the castle - not even the lobby. Staff was somewhat rude about it. The grounds were kinda cool, but seemed like a lot of money for nothing. Next time I would just park in Cong and walk around from there. You can't get close to the castle, but I thought the ruins in Cong and the Monk fishing Hut were the best part of the Castle. And we later found free parking there.
