We were staying in the area for a few days and found out about this Chateau online, we really liked the look and came for a visit. There is plenty and free parking just across the street. We just came for a walk in the park and to enjoy the Chateau from the outside. Did cost us 9 Euros each and we thought that was a fair price for what we got. Our Bulldog was welcome here as well. The place is first mentioned in history in the 11th Century. The chateau that still is here today was build in the 15th Century as a fort. It's in the same familys hands since the beginning. It's been named a historic monument since 1840 and there are other buildings on the grounds from the same time as well as a chapel from the 19th Century. The Chateau is a picture-perfect building. Just like you would imagine a fairy-tale Castle. It's a real piece of beauty with the (empty) moat. There's also a big rose garden on the grounds as well as a fruit garden. Also a nice piece of land (mostly woodland) to have a small walk. Which we did...very enjoyable and peaceful. Almost nobody around. There are several medieval games to try out for kids (and grown-ups of course). So surely a whole family can have some fun here. It's all mostly flat and easy to walk - also mostly suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. There are some special events sometimes and also tours through the castle. We really had a great time here. Wasn't too busy, was really lovely to enjoy the architecture and the park.

A great surprise! The castle is definitely worth a visit and the beautiful gardens as well. Plan at least a couple of hours to enjoy the visit. Some activities for the kids outside. Really worth a visit!
