In the place of the destroyed fortalice around the mid-fourteenth century, the Wedel family erected a brick castle with a plan similar to a square with a side of 30 meters.

A brick wall with a stone base was erected around the perimeter of the mound. The entrance was in the south-west wall and was protruding in front of the face of the walls. The residential building occupied the opposite side of the perimeter. In the north-west corner, a tower with sides of 8.5 x 9 meters was erected, the whole was surrounded by an earth rampart protruding about

In the fifteenth century, the castle, neglected, slowly began to fall into ruin and around 1500 it was abandoned. Later, the ruins were gradually reduced by the passage of time and sometimes demolition by the local population.

Currently, only the remains of the ground floor walls and the tower walls preserved above remain here.
