The 17th century Baroque castle was damaged severely in a 19th century fire, in which half of the property was lost and never rebuilt. The remaining parts where restored in the 1980's, after decades of decay. When not rented out for weddings or other events, parts of the castle are open to visitors of the gardens, with works of art on display. The real attraction here are the gardens, however. While the historic estate always had gardens, parks and a conservatory, much of the current 32 ha castle gardens where designed and established in the 1980's. The area is subdivided into a variety of styles, including a classic rose garden, Asian gardens and many ponds. On the site, there are restaurants, a gift shop and a mini golf course. Furthermore, regular events include birds of prey demonstration flights and concerts. The castle is an easy 5 minute walk from the town centre.
