Nice place to walk around the Parc. We will come back to visit the chateau inside.

Just out walking our dog and ran into the Count of this magnificent Hunting Castle. Lovely gentleman who graciously offered us a private tour of his mansion even though it was closed to tourist for the season. Amazing collection of historical art and generations of family history. Truly a sight to behold and I'd recommend anyone in this area to come for a visit, but be sure to book ahead if you need an English speaking guide. When we're back to this region, it will definitely be on our favorite places to visit and hang out with the Count again : )

We visited the gardens and castle with our small daughter. The gardens are huge and beautiful with meadows, small forests, a lake and some cows. The tour guide was very understanding with our daughter during the 1 hour visit of the castle. It is still inhabited by its owner who is around and who is a very friendly and educated person. We will certainly come back.

Beautiful castle, with an English style garden and a large park to take a stroll in. Guided visits available in summer.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
