Can I visit the inside of Brahetrolleborg Castle?

You can view it from nearby public roads and paths, but you should expect to remain outside the grounds and respect all signs, fences and private property.

Is Brahetrolleborg Castle a good stop with children?

It can be a simple and low-key break with children who need to stretch their legs.
