Unfortunately when we got there it was closed.Aparently most if the places are closed on Mondays! but the place itself has a strong vibe if you are to think this has been built and still standing in great condition more then 500 years ago. We would have loved to visit the inside. Maybe next time

If you need a quiet place to collect your thoughts and view beautiful and creative art, look no further. This museum has three levels of European art was a nice and quiet getaway from the busy roads. My favorite paintings were by Henri Edmund Cross.
