The current castle is a part of, and is built on top of, the bailey of a previous castle. The main structure or keep stood just west of it. A restored well marks this location. The big tower was part of this previous castle. The old keep was demolished before 1752.The big tower was the gatehouse of the bailey of the old castle. It is dated to the late 14th century, that is the same as the oldest construction found on the grounds of the main castle. The current castle is square, and had a gate in its southern wall. The west wing probably dates from the 18th century. Its foundations use the same brick as the former gatehouse, but this could be reuse. The north wing probably also dates from the 18th century, but takes the place of older buildings. The age of the east wing is unknown. The southern wall is oldest, and still contains walled up embrasures. There were also buildings along this wall. In the 19th century one still had to cross a drawbridge to enter the castle.
