  • A fascinating experience. The lady at the front desk was welcoming and witty when it came to giving details about the castle upon our arrival. It is a self guided tour with ample materials to read about the history of what went on in the castle. I am glad the building still stands and remains to this day a piece of history as well as a joy for both locals and tourists to enjoy. I find the infrastructure to be the most phenomenal part of the castle but I was happy to learn many of the peculiar stories and fun facts. An excellent location to bring all ages for a brief history.
  • This is a very interesting place to visit. It looks more like an old mansion than it does a castle though. There is more history presented about the area and different eras. The castle went through different ownerships and different phases. If you are a history buff it is worth the tour.
