When is the renovation to be completed?
The short answer is dunno. But I do know that they don't open until April...
I visited the castle about 5 months ago. It's disappointing not to be able to see the entire exterior. However, the overall impression, the setting, and the interior are all still impressive. When I asked how long the renovations would take, they didn't know. They did say things were going slowly at that point. But I just wanted to say that I'm glad we went to see it, even with the scaffolding.
