Fantastic castle to visit! Heritage site and much of it is original! Very beautiful garden and sights with a lot of information in English. Would recommend to Museum too. The steps in the castle are quite steep and there is a climb from the bottom so be careful if you have mobility issues or are wearing short pants/skirt.

Good deal if you get the package. Short line. Nothing inside the castle except stairs. Stairs are steep but have handrails. Difficult if you have small children. Gorgeous view from the top.

Established in 1622, this castle complex is now almost 400 years old. Try to visit early in the day, or late to avoid crowds. Be prepared to climb to enjoy the best views the castle has to offer.

It's gorgeous and one of the few original castles still left. If you're into history then it's a truly must-see place. Complete with wonderful views and grounds. Just be prepared to climb a pretty steep path to enjoy it!
