    Beautiful old castle, not too big. It's still good for a 1- to 2-hour visit. We didn't venture outside into the gardens, as the weather was bad. The welcome was very friendly, so we stayed for a cup of coffee. The space is tiny, but the friendly lady who helped us made us feel welcome. There's a Dutch explanation available, which is a bit overwhelming, but that doesn't matter for the information, does it? The surroundings invite you to come back again when the weather is nice. Note: the entrance is on the side, but we found it well signposted.
