History

It is a four-story structure from the second half of the 14th century. The top floor and the passage in front of the 1st floor were built after the fire in 1560. The tower protected the drawbridge of the entrance, which was replaced by a stone bridge in 1886.

It has an exhibition of archeology relating to the castle and it also presents how the town was defended in the medieval times.
