The four-storey brick-built keep is at the northern corner, 15th century, with its 18th century dormer window, summer house dating from around 1800 in the eastern corner. The two-storey tower built into the substructure on the southern side is from the late Middle Ages. Added to and modified in 1803. - in the south-west corner of the gatehouse is the two-storey gate construction dating from 1649, made of brick with flints. Finally, there is the two-storey brick section in the east which, like the west side, was modified in the 19th century and only part of the wall is original. *

Important moat. Nearly square stately home built in the 15th century. With courtyard. Two-storey, brick-built building on a high substructure with an impressive seven-storey tower with a capped roof on the western side and partly intact corbels on the corner towers. Modified in the 18th century, mainly around the courtyard and inside the buildings. Two gatehouses dating from the second half of the 17th century connect up with the main house.

The inner gatehouse has a main gate in the north wing with a projecting gable. The building beside the gate was converted into living quarters for the tenant. On the south side of the main house is the geometrically arranged garden with two summer houses dating from the 18th century and - slightly off the beaten track - the mill and its outhouses in the north. *

The courtyard was originally surrounded by buildings from all sides. North east of the courtyard is a series of offices and service rooms in four wings dating from 1728, but modified in the 19th and 20th centuries. *
