If I could own a castle, it would look like this from the outside. I think it looks beautiful, with the gardens and the moat! This was actually the first castle with a moat I visited. In the inside, it looks more like a hunting cabin than a castle, which was a disapointment. The excellent thing was, that you were able to see the servant's area also, which you can't see in the big palaces like Schloss Schönbrunn in Vienna. I liked how they had decorated the downstairs, but the upstairs rooms were full of stuffed animals, so I didn' like to view those.
If you are visiting with children they are able to dress as princess or a knight! How cool is that! I wish they would haved offered the adults to do the same!
Definitely worth a stop, if driving around here.More
We were completely alone for our visit to this little jewel which was nice for us but a shame for the chateau as it deserved to be far busier. It is beautifully done with a basement detailing everyday rural life, a first floor featuring life in the chateau and a second floor given over to wildlife and hunting. There was a clever use of audio, which while slightly creepy all alone in an ancient castle, really added to the atmosphere.
However the best feature was the wildlife area of meadow and marshland. It teems with butterflies, dragonflies, wild flowers, birds and fish.
There is a nice little cafe near the entrance where we had a good light lunch.
This is a small castle in a small village only a few minutes drive off the motorway. There is not much to it - the history of the building itself and a museum inside which goes through the history of the owners as well as hunting and wildlife.
It’s interesting enough without being totally engrossing. There are better chateaus nearby - Veves in particular springs to mind.
Not crowded at all but nice castle. It is worth a visit as it has 3 different exhibitions. Very instructive for children. It is not possible to have a guide but there are a lot of explanations everywhere in the castle.
Many thanks! We are happy to read that you've enjoyed the visit.
Nice to visit, well maintained gardens all around. Possibility to visit the place with kids, smaller dogs are also allowed. You can go through all the rooms and visit the several expositions at your own pace. Explanatory signs are available.
Really picturesque little castle! Very pretty garden leading up to a perfect little castle. Free parking out front of the chateau, €8 entry for adults which gets you into the chateau (including all 3 museums) and the wetlands on the other side of the car park. Castle was brilliant - favourite part was in the lower rooms which showed everyday life in the castle. A lot of taxidermy on the upper floors which may not be to everyone's likings, but also very interesting. You can buy food to feed the deers but they weren't easily accessible. The wetlands were small but very pretty, and would be very suitable to picnic lunching! However had one of the best lunches on our entire trip at the little cafe on the corner, just up the road from the chateau (croque Monsieur with mushrooms!)
