History

The tower was built in the second half of the 14th century and the parish office occupied it until the 15th century. The stairway that connects the castle with the town was built after 1780. At the end of the 19th century bells were placed on the 1st floor. At present visitors can access the castle through the southern tower, which has also a treasury.
