Nice river view on a sunny day, but by now they have fenced the ruin. So no more free exploring possible as described in 2019 reviews. We enjoyed the river bank. Yoo do not need to climb the gate...

Heard about this castle on Instagram. A bit hard to locate....just keep walking! Worth the visit to see the ruins. Nice water view from the site with rowers passing by.

Interesting ruin of a medieval era castle that was in the same family for many generations. Don't try to go down the private drive to the left. The castle is a short walk straight when you come to the end of the road.

Beautiful ruins being claimed by nature. It is a little hard to get to due to the fence and a sign saying it’s a construction area. There’s also unfortunately trash left behind by unvarying visitors, but other than that, definitely worth a visit.
