Visiting an unknown castle: the Freudenburg

The small town of Freudenberg in Baden-Württemberg (not to be confused with other Freudenbergs) is largely undiscovered by tourists, but includes a real 12th-century castle you can visit any time you want, and for free. I decided to take a look, and I wasn't disappointed.
