Quite interesting place - We really enjoyed the visit , especially the guide tour. The English guide was very good and made the visit worthwhile. We also enjoyed and Indian dance, the young man danced very well . The temple is great , colourful and a place of tranquillity. The park is well maintained and a lovely place to go for a walk. The view from the top of the tower is breathtaking ! Mind you there are a few steep steps to get up there but it is worthwhile. The cafeteria was not too good. Arrived at 3pm and almost nothing left to eat. No choice at all, we ate a small Indian meal which was ok. As a whole I would recommend the Chateau , you can spend a couple of hours there.

It’s not a tour about the castle - It should’nt be announced as castle tour since in reality is a tour about the hare-krishna community there. Everybody was very friendly though.

Poor English speaking guide - No guide was provided upon arrival, registration had apparently not gone through. Someone was found after all. This guide was less enthusiastic and the tour was completed in half an hour. Disappointing to see the group with a Dutch-speaking guide, right in front of us, very enthusiastically busy... We were 7 people, a pity about the price we paid
