Learning the history of the castle was very interesting. The owner has many unique antiques and items from all over the world on display. For the Centennial Celebration she took one of the wedding halls and displayed her collection of wedding dresses and quilts. I believe one dated back to the 1850s. The gardens are beautiful and the old barn and blacksmith shop are very nice. Oh, there is a nice wine and cheese room at the original entrance, too. Well worth the trip.

For most tourists visiting, the highlight will be the gardens. Running around a hedge maze while trains run around and overhead should make anyone smile. It is impossible to describe how delightful this garden is. We played with one of the two large garden chess sets, tried to convince monarch butterflies to stay on our hands, admired the knight and dragon, and fed the ducks by the pond. The owners gave us a garden tour on a golf cart and snapped a family photo for us! Others may enjoy the antiques and other interior displays, but most of them did not interest our family with school age children. Similar families may want to see the doll house or the thrones, but should plan to spend their time outside. I recommend about 3 hours for families and packing a small picnic of sandwiches or snacks.

We wondered if we should visit a wedding venue place, but it is so much more! There is something for everyone here: amazing architecture; interesting history; multiple wonderful gardens; hedge maze; birch forest; fish ponds; extensive working model railroads, including wooden toy trains for children to play with; regular and oversized garden chess sets; collections to see; guided tram tour (available even when you’ve opted for the self-guided tour); wine cellar. The whole place is gorgeous and its renovation was well designed with benches and chairs for resting as well as bathrooms available throughout the farm. Well worth our time and at a reasonable price! We want to go back! A big THANK YOU to the owner for her work in making this a lovely place to enjoy!

Delightful curiosity. Enjoyed farm-to-table event with their own wine. Very nice. Acoustic entertainment needed to be background music...not the main event. Tour afterward was very interesting...especially if you like visiting the resurrection of a rich man's folly. Lovely gardens and interesting buildings stocked with odd collections fancied by the owners.

What a neat place, didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the self guided tour. The grounds are kept up really well and they do a good job presenting the history of the place. It was especially interesting seeing pictures of the place when it was a dilapidated concert venue. My only regret was not coming earlier in the day to have more time. Bring food and water if you plan on seeing everything might be nice to take a break in between.
