点评:A nice place to spend half a day. The New Castle is more a stately home. Not many furnishings but beautiful architectural details. Not much is left of the Old Castle (maybe because its stones were used to build its newer neighbour!) but atmospheric. A crew were setting up a large stage so presumably there are concerts here. Great view of the Guaja valley from the platform.
From the castles, you can walk through a wood, have lunch or a drink, and visit the artisan workshops (there was no craft market). I purchased beautiful earrings from the jewellery studio. I would have purchased cards from another studio but the young woman working there purposely ignored me as I stood a metre from her with my chosen cards, preferring to scroll on her phone. I put the cards down and left!
The castles are not signposted. Take Raina Iela then Pils Iela. The castles are just behind the white church.
翻译:一个适合消磨半天的好去处。新城堡更像是一座宏伟的庄园。虽然陈设不多,但拥有精美的建筑细节。旧城堡则所剩无几了(或许是因为它的石块被用来建造邻近的新城堡吧!),不过氛围依然不错。当时有一群工作人员正在搭建一个大型舞台,想必这里会举办音乐会。从观景台上可以欣赏到瓜哈山谷的绝美景色。
从城堡出发,可以穿过树林,顺便享用午餐或喝杯饮料。我参观了手工艺人工作室(那里并没有工艺品市场)。我在一家珠宝工作室买到了漂亮的耳环。我本想从另一家工作室购买明信片,但当我拿着选好的明信片站在离她一米远的地方时,那里的年轻女子却故意无视我,只顾着玩手机。于是我放下明信片,离开了!
那些城堡没有路标指示。沿着Raina Iela路走,然后转到Pils Iela路即可。城堡就在白色教堂的后面。
