🎧  Listen to Introduction

The castle was originally built at the end of the 15th century in Gothic style. It was later expanded and rebuilt, first in Renaissance style and then in Baroque style. After being abandoned for nearly a century and suffering serious damage during the Napoleonic period, the castle was restored at the end of the 19th century, with the addition of many other elements and the transformation of the surrounding area into a park. Its current form bears vivid witness to its turbulent history.
