What to expect

<p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo3y12000doj883b37EB_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>The Jourdenes Castle, also known as the Jourdenes Castle Biotech Park, is Asia's largest castle-based tourism factory, built in the Renaissance-Baroque style. The architectural design concept, "Château" (French for castle), draws on Renaissance classical architectural elements, with domes, Roman columns, and gardens reminiscent of a classical European palace. The patron saint statues on either side of the castle symbolize life and eternity, reflecting Jourdenes' commitment to protecting consumers' right to beauty.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo1l12000doj6sc7A871_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/0103212000ben37nvBA04_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>Within the park, towering trees, vibrant flowers, and Baroque architecture stand tall. Step into Jourdenes Castle for a journey of aesthetic transformation. Taiwan's most iconic European-style castle, boasting the nation's tallest 50-meter Baroque dome and 40,000 square meters of outdoor European-style landscaped gardens, Jourdenes Castle offers 19 scenic views and over 100 photo spots.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/0100t12000ben356y8878_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo1e12000doj89u689AE_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>Hauge Square, the main area of Jourdenise Castle, is where you'll find yourself immersed in a castle steeped in aesthetic elements. Embracing the founder's corporate philosophy of "honesty, trust, and sustainable development," the patron saint statues on either side symbolize life and eternity, echoing Jourdenise's commitment to protecting consumers' right to beauty.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo6l12000doj8831A9BD_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>Princess Niss Garden has a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, while at the same time it exudes a magical aura. Time seems to have stood still here, the flowers stop blooming at the moment, and the pace of travelers naturally slows down.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/0105l12000ben39bp772C_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>Shizuka, derived from the Japanese word for tranquility, is a vast mirror reflecting the beautiful castle. Beneath the seemingly tranquil surface, it holds an endless vitality, unconditionally accepting and embracing all who come. The space adopts a circular design, making good use of every resource for reuse, echoing the company's spirit of sustainability.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo4q12000doj6wueEB1A_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>Chris Pine Forest, connected to the Quiet Pond and surrounded by rivers and trees, is a dreamlike forest like a European fairy tale. The forest is home to lush bald cypress trees, whose fluttering leaves fall down, weaving together a vast, clear yellow secret realm. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll or running happily, Chris Pine Forest is the perfect choice.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo4g12000doj89gg4DC3_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>The Miller Pavilion, a graceful pavilion with an exquisite octagonal structure, is connected to the Princess Nice Garden and the Princess Chichi Fountain. It is also a favorite spot of Michelangelo Zher, the cat, who often rests there between his chores. We hope that travelers, like Zher, can use the Miller Pavilion to recharge their energy for their next journey.</p><p><img src="https://dimg04.tripcdn.com/images/1lo3212000doj80lv1D9E_Z_1000_0.jpg"></p><p>The Bell Tower of Happiness is a place where bells are rung for blessings. Legend has it that those who come here and pray devoutly and ring the bell at sunset will "ring happiness and be blessed for life."</p>

I would say it was a very European garden with many detailed sculptures. Perfect for those who want to do cosplay. It wasn't that crowded anymore. Perhaps, it is a good chance to better use it as an set for cosplayers.

Right here you can have a wonderful journey to a beautiful European palace without spending too much going abroad. This place is so huge and grand that it will satisfy your desire to visit European royal courts. There are quite a few ponds and fountains helping you cool down in the open air. When you step inside the palace, it is pleasantly cool, and what comes into your sight is so magnificent that you won't regret having come here. Experience the European royal atmosphere here. Ha.

This place will forever hold my heart because my boyfriend proposed to me here ,we had a great time but it's not recommended during summer. Loooots of spots to take your instagramable pictures! The entrance is cheap for the place and you can also consume half of it for food from stall . Hopefully they have more options for restaurants inside. 👍👍

The place is beautiful for sightseeing and pictures. Although our group enjoyed the pond more, if you are interested in going, check it out. There's not much you can do here other than take pictures. What I appreciate about this place are the staff at the restaurant (Charmant Bistro). A customer in the restaurant took a picture of my friend and her child (both Black) without permission and was laughing while taking it. We were upset about how this customer was acting, so we informed the staff, and they handled the situation better than any other establishment in Taiwan, as this happens all the time. The staff talked to the customer and asked them to delete the pictures. They apologized to us for having to experience it. It was way better than other places in Taiwan. They also gave us some cookies which was a really sweet gesture. The ticketing center can also call a taxi since the location is not very accessible by public transportation.

This place is definitely worth the hours of driving from Taipei. I would recommend arriving by car because it's located in an industrial park away from any kind of public transportation. I saw a few taxis but I could imagine that they would be expensive. There are lots of parking in their parking lot and I saw signs for a shuttle from the parking lot. If you drive past the place, you will find some free street parking. The grounds are beautifully sculptured and decorated. I recommend going just before sunset because the whole place is well lit. Is it comparable to Versailles? No! Is it well done and has European vibes? Yes! Check for discount tickets online as we were able to get half priced tickets. There was also coupons included that could be used in the restaurant or cafe. Our tickets gave us 100 ntd discount an any item in the shop. This 100 discount could be applied to multiple items. There was also live music to enjoy!
