Description
The castle was built around 1472. In the 17th century, a square tower was added to the west of the building, accompanied by a turret in a corner, as well as a chapel on an old vaulted landing. In the 18th century, a large building was built in the south, and the chapel and the rooms were redecorated. The castle is in a large enclosure, where you can still see vestiges of a defensive ditch carved in the rock, transformed, probably in the 18th century, into a decorative basin during the development of the park, the artificial lake and a series of basins.
