Description
The castle has been mentioned since the 13th century. It consists of two parts. The house, flanked by two round towers at the front, is at the bottom of a rectangular courtyard surrounded by annex buildings which are backed by the fence wall. At the back of the house, there is a square tower whose joists date from 1405. In addition, two steps of a spiral staircase reused in the dungeon were dated 1505.
