As a child, did you prefer to play cowboy and Indian or did you prefer to play knight and lady? I bet even if you were more of the Wild West type, you'll get your money's worth in this 12th century moated castle.
She is the silent witness of the glorious and turbulent battles of the Lords of Pietersheim. The ring-shaped fortress walls and the gate tower can still be seen from the medieval fortress. The chapel hall from the 16th century has also been preserved and completely renovated. You can reach all the hidden corners of the castle via a floating jetty.
Be sure to climb the viewing platform in the gatehouse and enjoy the beautiful view of the castle square and the surrounding park.
