The first building standing on the site of today's castle was a tall tower, which was used to observe the sea and ships approaching land. In the 17th century, the first fortifications were built, and at the end of the century, the first castle was erected on the top of the hill. The present appearance of the building is due to the eighteenth-century renovation and reconstruction. Today the monument belongs to the city.
