Lovely little flowers, Kasteel Arcen

 ATLC Says:  Hmmm, I am so dumb about flowers and bushes. I don't know names but I liked these colourful little ones. 

Classical garden

Classical garden, Kasteel Arcen

 ATLC Says:  Unfortunately the many rosegardens were not yet in bloom.While you pass through them, you get a lot of explanation about roses, rosegrowing and the history of roses. As well as the prizewinning roses (if they are in bloom of course!).I guess June would be a good time to... 

Wild pig

ARCEN CASTLE

Unfortunately, the castle has no period style rooms but is used for parties, weddings and events. At the time of my visit there were students flowerarranging doing their exam pieces there so it was quite messy.
In the cellar is a restaurant.
