    Beautifully situated castle ruins, the tower is renovated and can be climbed, from there offers a great view. Inside the tower, there are some panels about the renovation of the ruin.

      Very beautiful view. The driveway is definitely worth it.

        From the castle is only a tower and a few remains of the wall. The ascent to the tower is free, but the view is only mediocre.

          Beautiful old castle, from the top you have a good panoramic view.
