Fabulous Gothic Castle

Spent the night there recently with the BACK IN TIME Paranormal Investigators, absolutely amazing night of paranormal activity. The castle itself is truly beautiful and filled with an abundance of 'spirits'!

Our tour guide Joseph was very personable and you could tell he loved the castle. The castle was beautiful. We parked at the end of the lane and walked along the path in the woods back to the castle which I recommend.
