★★★★★a year agoA very beautiful big house. Free to visit. There are many rooms, two nice areas for children. A very good place to take pictures of architecture or with friends

★★★★★Edited 10 months agoHuge, old, atmospheric. There are many rooms to explore. The house has an interesting history and was divided into separate dwellings or family spaces for many years. You must visit.
