| Prevalent style | Gothic |
| Short description | Late Gothic fort - connecting joint between a yeoman fort and noble keep. Fort built in 1488 - 1491. Fortifications strengthened and built corner tower in the 16th century. Plundered by the caesar army in 1619. Small Baroque modifications made in the 18th century. |
| Expositions | Interesting and constructively unique exterior. |
| Interesting detail | Unique in its transitional form. Yeoman fort, which is gradually changing into a keep. Only a small number of these buildings have been preserved in our country. |
| Valuation | It is sad that this unique transitional joint between a fort and a keep wasn't maintained as a cultural heritage and it had been slowly wasting away. New owner is reconstructing this fort nowadays so its condition will be only better. |
| Present condition | Under reconstruction |
