Castles remain magical. Especially if you are just allowed inside.
This summer, the doors of the castle of Jeanne de Merode swing open for young curious noses. But first, they dive into the dress-up trunk. As an architect, maid, countess, or another castle inhabitant, the discovery can begin.
Together with a guide, you walk through the rooms, over impressive stairs, and past places where Countess Jeanne once walked herself. Along the way, you hear surprising stories. You discover what life in a castle looked like. And you learn why this neo-Gothic gem still makes such an impression today.
This tour is made entirely to child-size, for curious boys and girls from 6 to 10 years old. One parent, grandparent, or other chaperone may join in on the adventure. You don't even have to reserve a ticket for that chaperone.
History, but playfully, with a touch of castle mystery and above all, a lot of wonder.
