Reviewed Apr 6, 2026Zwischenhalt auf Pilgerweg. Super freundliche Familienburg. Wer gerne ruhig und besinnlich übernachten möchte, vorher bei Andrea nachfragen. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass es Rambazamba hat vor lauter Burgfräuleins und Ritterknapoen. Uns hat es nicht gestört.

Je suis arrivée de nuit et j ai vraiment eu du mal à comprendre comment arriver jusqu'à l entrée du château. Petite approche à pied à prévoir.

Reviewed Sep 17, 2023Living in a real castle Interesting surroundings Polite hostel staff Clean and functional shower & toilet Breakfast is very basic, but it fits the price Free parking
All would be ok, but I've been bitten from head to toe by mosquitos and bed bugs. Smaller issues: Low number of power sockets Need to have your own padlock to secure your stuff You need to climb a lot of stairs to reach there

Reviewed Dec 10, 2022it was just … a dream! a modest but unforgettable castle experience:) Thomas, the castle manager, was super kind and welcoming. the facilities are practically new - but combined so carefully with the old heart of the castle. the beds are comfortable, there are board games to choose from, and even during the colder months the heating system works great. would recommend a thousand times! (just keep in mind that it requires walking up some flights of stairs to reach the premises) so grateful for this experience ❤️
I just missed more information about the castle’s history placed out in a booklet or otherwise
