Tips
This pavilion is quite a mystery, the castle archives contain precious little information about this remarkable building. In a number of texts it is referred to as a 'powder magazine' or 'powder house', but without further clarification. What we do know is that Marquis Paul Arconati wanted to turn this into a ballroom. At the end of the 20th century it was converted into a tourism office and today it is used as a studio space for schools and birthday parties.
The inside is not accessible to the public.
