I was biking around and got the opportunity to see this amazing castle. It's inhabited by the same lineage since the XII century! I didn't go inside, it was closed apparently.

An absolutely beautiful castle from history! One of the most breathtaking castles I’ve ever had the pleasure of promenading through. Impeccably preserved, with architecture so majestic it practically curtsies as you enter. A splendid locale to bring one’s family!

Had an amazing tour of the building with Daniel. He was super knowledgeable about the building and gave us the history of the family that has lived there for over 900 years. You have to pre-book the tour but it's worth it!
