Yes, open again (Wed to Sun, status: May 2026) and certainly recommended for a beer and snacks, or to bridge a rain shower. However, one should not expect too much: small menu, simple dishes and relatively long waiting times. The hut's better times are probably a while ago and (unlike the decor) unfortunately have not kept up with the times.

The castle, its park and the surrounding ponds form a wonderful ensemble.
