Dates & hours of this event

The Winter Wonder Castle takes you back to the era of the crusades. After having discovered oriental customs and practices during his first crusade, Philip of Alsace wants to undertake a second crusade. But Christmas time is near. In the Castle of the Counts, the count’s staff has prepared everything for the holidays. You can expect oriental touches, exotic smells and warm colours, and a winter bar full of atmosphere. 

An enchanting experience for young and old alike.
