Not informed what was involved and expected a normal guided tour of the Chateau not a spiritual one. Started the tour with a 15minute video explaining the spiritual side of the organisation then on to the Chateau itself. Very little mentioned about the history of the Chateau which was disappointing with the emphasis on the spiritual history relating to Hari Krishna. Left the guided. tour after 30 minutes and retreated to the restaurant/cafeteria for a a drink. Unless you are a disciple of ex Beatle George Harrison's ideals than don't bother to visit this place.

This is a wonderful castle where the Hara Krishna is located. You can get there very good guided tours of this place, with a beautiful interior You can learn a lot about the Indian Hindoe religion. Worthwhile a visit.

Not cleaned up anymore like before. Cool drinks were warm.
You can do a nice walk of 3.5 km which is very well indicated.

This was such an amazing experience. The kids were thrilled about staying in a real castle and we thoroughly enjoyed everything from the beautiful temple and building to the bakery and restaurant to the gorgeous walks in nature. Great boutique as well! One of our favorite experiences on our European tour with something for everyone in the family.

We know this for about 20 years and saw the changement every year.In the beginning they started wtih the castle and the bakery, after they opened a shop with Indien clothes, hygienic product, dry food (all bio and vegetarian).After they opened their restaurant wich is a self-restaurant serving only vegetarien food, but it is very tasty.
We noticed that the last year they are really going on the commercial way.The entree for the visit of their castle (and temple) are high, but at the other hand it is something different.

Its an amazing feeling to visit temple away from my home, India. Extremely peaceful, huge area, and quaint. It looks like being built in a mini castle which makes the visit even more different. Yes, they serve a Vegeterian lunch and have things like incense sticks for sale. And you will meet Indians from various parts of Europe there. So if you want someone for a quick hindi chat, you should visit the temple if you are nearby :-)

We first had lunch in the restaurant. Menu is restricted but food is nice. Vegetarian made with self grown ingredients. The home made ice cream is a MUST !!! Delicious.
The tour of the castle includes a video-presentation about Hare Krishna philosophy, a visit of the temple, 2 museums and the garden. If you are open to new visions on life it is a wonderful experience. The visit ends in the shop and bakery where you can buy home made pastries and cookies (delicious too).
Overall nice and very interesting experience.

Easter Sunday 2012, we visited Radhadesh. Our expectations were quite low to be honest but what a surprise we were in for. We took the guided tour and a very enthusiastic couple explained us how they lived. They really took the time to guide us around and were keen to answer any question we had. We saw the temple room with the puppets and at first it seemed a bit queer, but then again, any religion has its own special feature. Only one suggestion, put the ugly white tent somewhere else on your terrain, instead of ruining the beautiful sight on the castle from the road below.

Visited ISKON temple, Radhadesh at least 10 times in past 4 years or so. And last visit happened today.
Unlike some other temples, this place is very relaxing and calm. The place has very good scenery all around. The restaurant in the complex provides reasonable food and decent prices.
This place also has facility for overnight stay but I have never used it.
As in past, will keep visiting regularly.

This place is one of the better place to be visited. A nice and calm environment with a devotional atmosphere.
The guided tour around the castle was one of the must do things and the classical dance at the end of the tour is the highlight of this tour. I love the guided tour.
