Yes, it is not so special in medieval and/or gothic times around 12th/13th century. Cargoyles and demons were not placed in house or at the outer fassades of churches to welcome the devil. They were rather protective figurines that would hinder the devil to enter that building or haunt its inhabitants. Mostly, very ugly faces and monstrous bodies were used to make the demons and devil afraid so that they do not enter the place.
Hope you do not mind my little excursion back to dark ages superstitions

Yes, it is very big and interesting, after renewal it's possible to enter into many rooms, travel with a guide takes about 3 hours, then you can walk alone as long as you want.

So you can spend the whole day if you want (from 10.00 - 16.00 I saw on the website) if you want? That's great! I did that panoramic view on their website ... awesome! Did you see that amber exhibition? Amber is such a beautiful gemstone.

Yes, I was there usually in summer, when it's possible to stay there from 09:00 - 20:00, when you have a ticket you can go wherever you want. Amber exhibition I saw twice, it's very beautiful, maybe later I will try to find some pics I did there last year.

In winter it is beautiful too, especially when there is snow, only negative thing is shorter opening hours, I wish I will be able to go there again too.

Yes, of course ... snow creates a total different atmosphere. Reckon it will become more fairytale-like.
