The Story

You want to see castles? Do you have a list? If you do, add this one to it. If you don’t, make one! This impressive structure is not just a castle, there is a restaurant, a youth hostel and a museum of natural history! They have a bevvy of events year-round so be sure to check their website. The best is the Medieval Fest/Market which is usually in June. Enjoy great food and watch the nights in armor duke it out in the castle courtyard! You and your kiddos will love it!

No events happening when you’re there? No problem! Wander the grounds and climb to the top of the observation tower for a spectacular view of the area.

Tips for your visit

During events, parking gets a little crazy so be sure to get there early because these events are very popular and draw large crowds.
