It reveals how, from the very beginning, the estate was conceived as an ambitious project aimed at harnessing and organising nature. It also sheds light on the contemporary issues that build on this vision, particularly in the face of climate challenges and the sustainable management of landscapes.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1138\">As you walk through the grounds, your perspective shifts: the castle is no longer just a monument, but the heart of a living ecosystem, constantly evolving.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1351\"><strong data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1309\">Duration<\/strong>: 1 hour 30 minutes<br data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1317\"\/><strong data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1336\">Limited capacity<\/strong>: 25 people<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1389\">This tour is available on selected dates and starts at 10.30 am.
