    The Story before the castle museum

    JASON_R, May 2026
    Very through and well thought out. Which made a lot of connections when we went inside the castle, we already had the back story!

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Jason, thank you — this is exactly what the tour is designed to do. Everything inside the castle lands differently when you already know the story behind it. I'm glad it worked that way for you, Leila, and your son. Edward
