Overlooking the town proper, Greenrook Castle is a historic site of some significance. While there is a small tourist trail through the castle, few trainers are content to simply see a little bit - tales of Pokemon wandering the halls tend to entice them further in. To a certain degree, that is true - Farfetch'd seem to love the place, and a while ago a prankster set a bunch of baby Dragons loose in the lower levels, which has resulted in a goodly number of young, weak dragon-types available for capture.
The Castle is a marvel by itself, however. The only surviving building from the Age of Knights still standing in decent quality, a great deal of effort is put into restoring and maintaining the structure. The Livery of House von Hernrichs, in bright emerald greens, is in proud display, and frescoes and tapestries showing the feats of the nobles and their vassals are to be found everywhere they hung or were painted in the castle's golden years.
The tour takes you through a small selection of the many rooms, showing you the personal quarters of the Count Juri and his wife, as well as some of the servant quarters, and finishing off in the throne room. There used to be a dungeon tour portion as well, but the wild Dragons have made it somewhat hazardous for normal civilians to traipse about down there, so that part of the tour was sadly discontinued.
