History
Rectangular building flanked by a round staircase tower at the south-west corner. It was formerly extended by a building which must have been the old chapel. On the storey can be distinguished a series of round-arch arcades, and in the roof space a small pointed-arch window. The main façade was remodelled in the 17th century.
