We went specifically to see the museum and spend the night in the castle. Museum is interesting and nice to see both for children and adults. It is located in a beautiful place on the high bank of the river. There is an old park where you can walk and also see the picturesque mill lake. There are also castles and manors nearby that you can visit - Padure, Aizpute. There are two grocery stores within walking distance. In the castle itself there is a pub with very tasty and inexpensive food. Everything was great. For technical reasons, we couldn't get the room we booked, so we were upgraded to a higher category for free.

We stayed one night beautiful place. Well worth the money, you must eat the breakfast when you're there.

We went only to the museum part, and it was very lovely. Intricate atmospheric interiors, and plenty of nice painting and other art. loved the clock room and geology rooms Some other collections are rather random, especially in the toy room, but those are just nitpicks. The tower does provide a nice view, but the plant for is very small, and you only has a metal mesh saving you from a fall. the inner garden is very beautiful, and that mossy well is just too whimsical not to mention. the basements also have interesting exhibitions, from old soviet phone, to torture devices to small, but surprising puppet exhibition by the artist Vladlena based on Latvian fairy tales. The castle exterior and garden were a bit disappointing. Garden especially... seemed a bit lacking
