Visiting the site… The domain of the castle consists of app. 165 hectares surrounding the castle; which lies within a mile from the nearest village, from where there are two roads approaching the castle and entering the village (which is part of the domain). From there the road bends around the lake showing the splendor of the castle, splitting into two roads going up. Just at the intersection there are three houses. Going right it passes two lakes. On the left covered behind the woods. Going left the lakes are visible on the right. Uphill there is a farm property, also belonging to the estate.

T There are many historical facts, legends and events linked to the Castle among which the claim that Richard I (the Lion heart), 12 days after being wounded during his siege of the nearby Castle of Chalus, died in this castle. Further back in history, in the Celtic and Roman period, there were secret tunnels and hiding places built under the ground, which makes the local people speculate on many stories what could have happened in the past. The castle is surrounded by a small park, which is surrounded by a moat; within the park four stone walls and towers protect the inside of the castle. The four towers are named: the North-East, the North- West, the South-East and the South-West.

Going straight, entering through the right door in front you will find the living room. The left door in front brings us to the office space..
