3 months agoThe castle is gorgeous on the outside like a miniature castle but very pretty and the grounds are quite nice with beautiful blooming roses and a vibrant green park, perfect for a nice walk. Inside the castle is unexpected but interesting. The family was very into spirits, apparitions and mysticism and there are signs of this all around, even in some of the paintings. The coolest thing was the old school camera with "photos" of apparitions which I'll leave each person to decide for themselves but it was still interesting. The museum provides an audio tour in multiple languages so that you understand what you're seeing, I just wish each item contained a description. I would have loved to go upstairs but that's not allowed. Overall it was an interesting way to spend a couple of hours.

4 months agoIt is a fascinating place to visit, pretty creepy, but interesting for its history. A "haunted" place, with lots of mystical symbols, messages from "the other world" and few other surprises. Don't miss this place if you are nearby, I already saw it 4 times!
