facade. The splendour continues inside. Masterfully carved wood paneling and
cabinetry, stunning hand-painted ceilings, and flawlessly chosen decor make each

Chateau complex makes up one corner of a small village, which also has shops, a
cathedral, and many summer events. The Chateau is now open for both overnight
guests and day visitors, and also hosts wedding receptions and other events,
