Have you ever wanted to visit a castle? This visit takes you into an authentic medieval fortress constructed between 1360 and 1410.
Step across the drawbridge spanning the moat and pass through the main tower into layers of history. Wander through the keep and its former residential spaces, stand on the wooden terrace that commands sweeping views across the surrounding countryside, and study the battlements and bell tower that once formed part of the castle's defensive system.
Descend into the subterranean dungeons and into the kitchens where daily life was organised, and imagine the routines of soldiers, artisans and household staff who kept the stronghold functioning.
Throughout the site, you can observe masonry, arrow slits, and architectural details that reveal both the practical needs and the status of its former inhabitants.
The castle offers a vivid sense of medieval life and of the strategic importance of fortified royal residences. Informative context and clear interpretation help bring the centuries-old stones to life for visitors of all ages.
