Beautiful gardens. Inside the castle is super hot. Def worth a stop and a lengthy conversation with one of the knights.
[Kristin, 08/05/2018]The castle was much larger than I'd expected, considering it was built mostly by one man. The grounds have a wide variety of plants, herbs, and trees that enhanced my visit in August.
If you have bad knees or poor balance, you may have a hard time with the narrow spiral staircases. They're steep and have uneven steps.

Admission is $5 now. And apparently it's only open on weekends.
[K. Stacey, 02/26/2017]
A hair-raising drive down the narrow, winding road takes you to the castle and river. There are lots of steep and uneven stairs to negotiate, but the views are beautiful and it's a neat place to visit.
