Description
The lordship has been mentioned since the 12th century. The dungeon, located next to the residential buildings, is built in rectangular rubble and is surrounded by four corner towers. A large round tower and a polygonal tower, integrated into more recent constructions, give the west on a small pond, a vestige of the old moats. In the 15th century, accommodation was added to the dungeon, accompanied by a porch and outbuildings. In the 17th century, the main courtyard was fully refurbished to accommodate a large accommodation which extends over the entire length of the west wall, incorporating the previous accommodation. The latter experienced profound changes in the 18th century, a period during which a barn and a dovecote were built. The accommodation took its current appearance at the beginning of the 20th century. Around 1990, the semicircular gate of the barn was replaced by a concrete portal with metal doors.
