Rattay's KCD event, 15th June 2024
First I have a few outside pics for you; Rattay guards at their posts, the Upper Castle where the event was taking place, Pirkstein where the courtyard was made available (but not the castle, to my knowledge - you can see my last visit of Pirkstein in this post). The local pub did our national sport (=making an overpriced and not even a good menu for a day) justice.
Let's continue on to the Tour (TM). We gained an access to a small room with KCD merch to have a look at, some art, weapons. We could take a look at the cellar ("this is old, and be careful, and I hope you have a light") and the attic ("this is also old. and in terrible shape. do take care."), so if one paid the 200 crowns this required, they really had to consider it a generous donation to the community and not a payment for services provided (listening to about four sentences from the guides in total, and being rushed all the time while trying to read something about the game in the small room). I admit I was excited about a possible castle tour as a whole, so not being told anything about the castle was rather disappointing.
And lastly, you could watch or participate in activities such as trying out an armour, some weapons, archery, riding a horse, or dice.
