The gardens are fantastic, especially for kids. Castle is nice, with special mentions to the stair case which is a work of art in itself.

Excellent example of castle changing through centuries. Very nice garden, rooms full of history, some if them really special. A lot of authentic items still in a castle. Good guide. A must stop.
