We actually were there in April and the tourist office told us it would be open but it was not. When we arrived the sign on the door posted hours and days but nevertheless it was closed all day.

If it is the same week as Easter, it will be closed the entire week.

Cannot precisely answer to "inside" the castle. Possibly some parts as there is a "guided" tour available (fee). You can definitely wander around most/all the grounds. We entered on the harbor side ... where we entered is the Resistance Museum (about the German occupation) which is open to the public. There was also a guard posted at one of the gates o the main building ... reminded me of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Sorry I wasn't of more help.
