Since then, the edifice has suffered many transformations, but there is one thing that has not changed: the murals, which can be considered its trademark. These frescoes, found both on the inside and outside wall, present the Daniel family and scenes from the political life of that period.  😊 Try out the comfort of an old castle where each room is different, where century-old wooden elements are combined with traditional style in a modern way. Spend your night in the Constantinopol Room and find out what story the wall painting above your head hides.

We offer homemade food, prepared from our own production (vegetables, fruit, eggs, milk, bread, cheese etc). Our healthy diet started a few years ago, when I was diagnosed with a dangerous type of skin cancer and I said no to chemotherapy and changed my whole life on the basis "help yourself and God will help you too!".  Thanks to this location, we produced everything we could, I started to bake leavened rye bread with sesame seeds and flax. I started to learn about herbs and today I am already producing some of them. I started oxygen therapy by taking long forest walks, even several times a day. Thanks to these I am totally fine.  🧡 Our offers include: hiking on woody trails, a ride in a horse drawn cart, horseback riding, sleigh rides, mushroom picking, animal petting, chicken feeding, crop harvesting, gathering of herbs, bread baking with leavening agent, pig-sticking.  On request, we have also organized hunting experiences.
