About
Quick facts: A castle with 98 rooms, including towers and vaults, built by a businessman as a private residence. It also includes a whimsical garden and a secret tunnel network that was once meant to ensure discretion.
Highlights: A real curiosity is the vaulted halls with twelve-meter-high ceilings and a mechanical pipe organ instrument with over 10,000 parts. Especially exciting is the secret tunnel that connects the castle to the garages and conveys a real sense of adventure.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, as much of the exploration is done on foot.
- Photo spots are the terrace with a view over the city and the magnificent dining hall.
- Avoid weekends to get around large crowds of tourists.
- The secret tunnel is a highlight that is not shown in the standard tour, ask about a special tour.
