The castle is sometimes opened for weddings. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of limestone, granite, sand, cement, rock and block, were used in the construction of all of the buildings at Falkenstein Castle. The walls are solid stone. The chandeliers are cast iron; the huge columns are from ancient forests; some are 30 feet tall.
