History
Castle built at the end of the 15th century, completed in 1490. It is constructed in brick and stone, rectangular in plan, flanked by four corner turrets - two rectangular and two polygonal. The two square towers served defensive purposes; they have retained their crenellated parapet walk and machicolations. Inside, all the fireplaces are preserved.
