Description

Description

CAST LE, 16th-17th-18th centuries, on a light trapezoidal rectangular ground plan; two storeys on basement storey; the house has between two gable ends a slate-covered mansard roof, 18th century, whose base splays out. Evidenced by a Gothic arch frieze at gutter height, directly above the second storey, along the rear gable and right (=west) gable, the castle was built in the 16th century, possibly on older cellars. The right side gable and rear gable are in rubble stone; this side gable has a Gothic arch frieze with trefoil motif at gutter height; the left side gable in brick on a rubble stone base; above the second storey brickwork banding. The strictly symmetrical brick front gable dates from the 18th century and has, beside the broad central bay - entrance door with window on left and right - two narrow, one-window-wide bays; the three bays are separated by dressed natural stone pilasters, also at the corners; above these a cornice directly under the gutter; the arched windows have stone surrounds, as does the door section with fanlight; three steps lead to the door. The castle is surrounded by a broad moat; the base is earthed in.

Internally including fireplaces, 18th and early 19th centuries, oak staircase, 18th century, and in the cellar large ceramic wall tiles in blue and ochre.
