A lot of history in one place! A renaissance castle, which dates back to a Gothic castle, surrounded by a Baroque fortress. With a double ditch and a raised wall, in the typical form of the 17th century fortress architecture. Today used as a youth hostel. The outdoor area is free to visit.

Hiking

Used as a fortress until 1712 and with 2 moats. From March to October and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., the outdoor area can be visited. The tour of the fortifications between the two moats is worthwhile.
