Lovely compact castle with nice views over the wooded valley. Friendly and informative gent at ticket office .
The castle itself is very stylish and full of historic information and facts . A good variety of rooms and stairwells to explore.
We really enjoyed our visit and took about two hours to complete the tour of Castle and Grounds
Enjoy L.

A real disappointment that costs €11 per person where there are few interesting things to see, a mixture of period furniture, the family who apparently lives on site and the so-called mystery of "la Dame Blanche" for the idiots !
There are so many more beautiful castles in the region so avoid it !

Nice chateau. It's smaller than we expected. Good information in English. We were the only English in there following a large escorted tour in French, so we kept going ahead and moving back so we didn't interrupt their tour. We may have missed something but we didn't understand the significance of one whole room dedicated to Greek mythology. Interesting as it was we didn't see the relevance. Anyway we enjoyed the visit.

A beautiful castle with a unique and imaginative approach to showcasing its rich heritage and history. The story of the castle is brought to life through a series of thoughtfully curated displays, each representing a different period in its long past. Several rooms are creatively reimagined, blending their original functions with artistic interpretations that add depth and intrigue. A highlight of the visit is the mythical Chamber of Artimus—an immersive and atmospheric experience that’s not to be missed.

A very different take on a traditional chateau experience. It is quite small but well worth a visit if you are in the area with some really interesting rooms and stories behind the building. For those with dogs, the website says small dogs allowed, which they are, but only if you carry them! One to be aware of in case your small dog is a little hefty like ours was 🤣

A very nice restored castle with information in French and English language. You can walk around the grounds too, expect a visit of 1,5 - 2 hours or max 1 hour if you are rushing.
There is also a seating area outside with some limited food options.
Entrance 10 euro per person and 5 euro for children aged 6-18, children under 6 are free.
A recommendation if you are in the area.

A well preserved castle with a mysterious story of a white lady. The castle and the grounds are well maintained, the exhibitions and displays are great and well organised. The staff is very friendly and there are small tours, although in English only. Small dogs are also allowed if you can carry them in your hands. Something most castles do not do and should be allowed. So well done!

Halloween night absolutely excellent. The headless horseman on the real horse made our night. All the characters played their role and we enjoyed this evening very much
