The castle was built of brick and sandstone. It was surrounded by a 20-meter-wide moat and 8-meter-thick, 2.5-meter-thick walls. He owned two towers. The smaller was rectangular, while the larger, octagonal (octagonal), located in the north-eastern corner. It had a diameter of more than 10 meters and an unknown altitude today.

The castle functioned until the Swedish Deluge when it was seriously damaged and fell into disrepair. Today, after securing and adapting for use, the ruins of the castle include a cultural center, a library and a tourist information desk.
