Amazing well appointed historic castle with artwork statues and tapestries on display. Recent artwork interpretations are scattered throughout. Original furniture completes each rooms decor. Allow an hour to visit more if touring gardens

Beautiful castle!

We were so happy to visit this castle. Even though the weather was horrible (too windy and rainy) the walk around the castle was worth it! The indoors have a lot to offer as well.
