The tower was built in the 15th century. The keep is a strong square tower that may date from the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century. The defensive walls are made of cut stone. The machicolations are intact. Only the walkway is damaged to the east. Inside, the rooms and the original staircase no longer exist. The small chapel has remains of frescoes from the beginning of the 15th century or perhaps from the 14th (knight; Saint Michael; Saint Christopher; king; horsewoman...). The remains of the tower buildings were remodeled in the 19th century.

The Tower is difficult to visualize; you must stay in the castle, which offers guest rooms, to access it.
