Look up at those impressive round towers. Imagine the Wolfskeel family living here over 400 years ago. This was a place of power and influence back then. Behind you, near those ancient trees, you might even hear the echoes of carriages on the cobblestones. Did you know that the stair tower wasn't just an architectural gem but also served defensive purposes? These walls have witnessed times of grandeur and the occasional intrigue. As you move on, picture life during the Baroque era, when the gardens were filled with splendid flowers and exotic plants.
