            d'Alcantara Castle

The castle was built in 1722 by Count d'Alcantara.  The castle was named after him.  The count's heirs sold the castle in 1789.

A school was built on the estate in 1875.  The castle was used by the school from then on, including to house teachers.

Currently, the castle serves as a library, while other rooms are available for a civic centre.
