Seasonal recommendations
Spring light highlights the architectural details of the County House. Trees are blooming around. We recommend a visit during a clear afternoon. As the season begins, the visitors are increased. Prepare layered clothing suitable for variable weather.
Summer months are characterized by intense sunshine and high temperatures. The thickness of the walls can make the building cooler. In the main season, we recommend arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid crowds and sunburns. Remember light clothes and plenty of fluids.
In autumn, the surroundings of the historical centre are surrounded by falling leaves and morning fog. The light at this time is suitable for photography the facade of the building. Thanks to the lower number of tourists, autumn is a good time to observe architecture. We recommend a warmer jacket because it is cooler in the evenings.
Winter visit to the County House is quieter, especially in Advent time. Thanks to the short days the evening lighting of the building is noticeable. Since opening times are often shortened in winter, we recommend checking them in advance. Dress in warm winter clothes, including hats and gloves.
