A large and sophisticated castle with a spectacular a facade of faceted stonework in an Italian Renaissance style. Mary Queen of Scots attended a wedding here. The courtyard is fully accessible. Access to areas leading from there depends on the visitor's mobility as each room and cellar has up to three steps leading to it. Carved stonework around fireplaces and doorways offers a hands-on experience. The castle is only open during the summer months and closed between October to March.
