In the Internet this place is often called the Corvey Abbey, and it is wrong: mass tourists will not go to the "abbey", as they hardly know what it is. The Germans understood it long time ago, and even the official site is called "The Corvey Castle." And Corvey really looks like a castle, a very large castle.
