The castle, built in the 13th century, was destroyed or damaged several times. For a short period, a corner of the castle was even used as a prison. The castle was also rebuilt again and again, resulting in many different architectural styles. Even today, in cooperation with heritage conservation, the castle is continuously repaired. The castle has been owned by the same family since 18XX. (Info from the castle lord).
