Description
After more than twenty years of vacancy, the historic building was purchased in 1989 by two history enthusiasts. Subsequently, the castle underwent extensive restoration, including the installation of authentic furniture, portraits, and artworks from the 18th and 19th centuries. Additionally, the structure houses a collection of Chinese ceramics and porcelain. Today, visitors can rent a suite and a room within the castle for overnight stays.
