Description
The house was built around 1580 within the enclosure of an older castle. The old buildings were demolished during the sale to the town in 1946. It restored the house and added a glass room as well as a concrete staircase. This Renaissance style building was modified in 1617. Large openings were created in the 18th century. The castle has a square shape and is surrounded by four corner turrets supported by decorated consoles.
