Visit the Castle Ward

A charming château set in 332 hectares of parkland!

Château de Ward is a fortified Victorian tower house set in over 332 hectares of wooded parkland.

Within its walls are a manor house, a sawmill, a corn mill, a theater, a small laundry and beautifully wooded gardens in which to stroll.

The place is friendly, quiet and authentic, and is currently attracting quite a few fans of the Iron Throne series. In fact, the castle was used as a filming location for several scenes in the series, and has become a must-see location for tele-phages!

In short, a fun little tour that should take you right to the heart of the 18th century! The icing on the cake: the castle also has a small souvenir store, which should pique your curiosity!
