Our guided tours give visitors the chance to see the 21st century renovation works inside the shell of the 14th century monument, learning about the history of the families who lived here and the significant architectural highlights. For those able to ascend our original stone spiral staircase, you will be met by impressive landscapes seen from our viewing gallery on the roof. Tours last approximately one hour and we have free on-site parking.
