About

This mansion has been converted into a home for a surprisingly large collection of teddy bears and Christmas decorations. An exceptionally magical place during the winter, but even during the summer months, it's a treat. Enjoy holiday treats such as strudels and hot chocolate in the cafe, or visit the Christmas museum housed in a 650-year-old cellar.
