Pas très enthousiaste pour ce type de visite guidée, nous avons été très agréablement surpris et avons adoré cette visite, historiquement et culturellement interessante. Un propriétaire étranger très attaché au patrimoine de la région. Une restauration minutieuse et très réussie. Un jardin agréable. Une guide très sympathique. A ne pas manquer !

Très beau château qui a été rénové avec goût. On peut le visiter avec de tous petits chiens à condition qu'ils soient porté dans les bras. Les gros chiens sont interdit. On peut aussi aller voir une cascade au pied du château. Je recommande.

Un château à ne pas louper! Visite guidée d'1h passionnante qui retrace la riche histoire de cet ancien château fort qui aurai pu finir en ruines sans la détermination de son propriétaire actuel. Avant ou à la suite de votre visite, ne manquez pas une petite descente jusqu'à la cascade au pied du château
