“The experience was a pleasant surprise. The history of the castle was very interesting and there was a good video with english subtitles about it. There are many rooms to discover, I recommend having a brief look at the map of the castle so you dont miss anything. The staircase was my favourite and the beautiful views of the gardens from the upper balcony.”
