Visiting Castillo de los Templarios in Ponferrada

Is this castle open during the day - We will be staying at Molinaseca the night before and if we walk to Ponferrada will it be open? Not everyday you get a chance to see a magnificent 12th century Templar Castle in tact and what are our chances to see it? I found generally things are closed during the day or closes for the afternoon but I don't want to miss the chance to see it. Can you carry you pack inside, is there a place to leave your pack for an hour to visit this castle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thanks so much, looks like I am in luck they are open at 11am.. which is perfect. we can walk the 7km to Pontferrada and take an early lunch break and then head on our way.
