The castle stands with its distinct medieval architecture, featuring round corner towers and a surrounded courtyard connected by two main buildings.

Originally built as a motte-and-bailey structure in the 11th century, the castle underwent substantial expansions between 1548 and 1800.

During World War II, sculptor Teun Roosenburg established an art colony at the castle, providing refuge for artists and Jewish people.
