Your pupils are welcome at the castle.

A guided tour of the interiors allows them to get familiar with the daily life of the 18th century in a quirky way. The model ships room can be visited in an autonomous manner by means of cards and short videos.
The pupils can participate in a trail game in the whole park, in which they investigate to find the thief of the castle’s candles. Thanks to puzzles, observations and little games, they can learn about the life during the 18th century while having fun.
