Guided Story

Imagine standing here centuries ago. You'd hear the gentle splash of the moat and the clatter of horse hooves on gravel. This moated castle wasn't just about defense; it was a bustling hub of life. Turn around and imagine visitors pouring through the gates, perhaps heading to a grand feast. Today, this place has transformed into a center of new beginnings, a birth house where the cries of newborns echo off ancient walls. It's amazing how history and the present walk side by side here. Look to the east, and you'll spot the St. Quirinus Church, another piece of living history.
