Sorry for responding so slowly. We bought nothing in advance, got everything right there on arrival, convenient and not expensive. If one pays for castle entrance, then the parking is free.

For refreshments in the cold, don't miss out on the soup with home-made bread and good hot chocolate at the cafe next to the shop. I tried to lift and load a catapult ball! Unsuccessfully so.
