This castle was built in the 10th century. Half a century later, the castle became a garrison castle. 400 years later, it served as a prison in the 18th century. In the middle of town, the castle gardens are worth wandering through for a quiet moment.

This superb castle deserves to be discovered. To take a picture or simply to admire its towers and its splendour. In its time, it was also the subject of one or two postcards.
