Incredibly friendly, and the food was very good and delicious. The wait time for ordering and for the food to arrive felt very short.

It's a very comfortable place to sit, but the price is a bit too high for me.

The oldest part of the building, the Knights' Hall between the two mighty towers, which has been preserved as a ruin, dates from 1335. The lower parts date from the 13th to 14th centuries, the late Gothic cell vaults in the upper floors date from around 1530, the gable tops and roof turrets were added towards the end of the 16th century. In the 15th to 16th centuries the castle was rebuilt as a palace and the north wing was rebuilt in 1890 after a fire. The gatehouse to the front courtyard was built around 1560 and decorated with dormer windows and gables. The palace forms a closed square with late Gothic and Renaissance architectural forms, the wing on the Elbe side, built around 1530 for Otto Pflugk, has a late Gothic brick gable with tracery pattern, the stair towers in the courtyard have Renaissance gables. The cell-vaulted "drinking room" in the southwest tower was decorated with rich paintings in 1532, which are attributed to the circle around Lucas Cranach. The castle is surrounded by a spacious English landscape park with some old trees, which stretches down the mountainside to the Elbe. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Strehla)

Beautiful baroque town hall in what is actually a really pretty centre, but unfortunately it is a bit too focused on car traffic.
