a gate in the northern wing of the palace to the inner courtyard. There was also a second gate from the south. From the courtyard side, on the axis of the eastern wing, a tall square tower was built, which above becomes an octagon. All the castle wings are three-storey high, covered with sgraffito decoration restored in 1906. In 1735, another reconstruction was completed, which gave the interiors baroque features. In 1775, the park adjacent to the palace, established in 1635, was transformed into a landscape park.

Currently, only the farm buildings under the castle are in use.
