The main part of the castle is built of stone in the XVI century, in 1645 the castle was rebuilt, and in 1687 it was expanded by two side wings and filties. Both sides. In 1879, the castle was renovated, and after some time a large-scale reconstruction began. Under the guidance of the English architect Samuel Weatherly. So, in 1897, a square tower was erected with a bell-shaped roof (in the photo on the left). The preserved project indicates that the same tower was planned and on the other hand. But instead in 1899, the same architect was built an octagonal tower with a bulb (in the photo on the right), it is likely to make more diversity in the castle architecture. The garden restored the famous French landscape architect édouard André. Sound, the hereditary possession of Solms-Sonnenwalde graphs. Closed to visit, in the gardens the public on certain days is allowed.
