The castle is a large and set in beautiful gardens. This magnificent fortress- residence served three successive noble families over 400 years. It was built around 1240. See the grim pit prison, pretty chapel and cavernous storage vaults. It offers a fascinating view into life at that time with thick and sturdy walls, mysterious passages, cellars and a dungeon. Plenty of places to explore once inside the castle. Explore the gardens dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Castle and gardens larger than you might think but plenty to climb around or just walk round the gardens.
