Et virkelig godt museum. Spennende byggverk, med trange trapper og spennende historie. Her er det sjøslag og heksebrennig på tapetet. Ikke noe for sarte sjeler.

Interesting historical place, great view from the top. Nice surroundings.

Moyen à mon avis, pas grand chose à voir à l'intérieur, panorama sans grand intérêt et plutôt cher.
