Castle of Trips
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. *
