🏰 History & Heritage

The perfect weather to visit our proud neighboring fortresses!

💡 Our little insider tip: When going to the gourmet night markets, remember to bring your own cutlery, plates, glasses (and a basket). It's a local tradition here, and it's much more eco-friendly!

Have a wonderful stay with us, and please don't hesitate to drop by if you need a recommendation or a good local restaurant tip.

Have a great holiday at Castelwood!
