Description
The castle was mentioned for the first time in 1522. Its structure, square in shape, was to have a tower on each corner. The tower located southeast shelters the spiral staircase and is the only one to have kept its bin and its original roof. The tower in the southwest has retained its supports. A chapel was built in 1625. The interior was decorated with painted paneling dating from the 18th century.
