The shape it held in its prime.
Long, low ashlar stone ranges linked to a cylindrical tower topped by a steep conical stone roof; steep, slate- or stone-shingle roofs on rectangular blocks; a raised balustraded terrace runs along the main façade with a central external curving stone stair leading to an entrance beneath the terrace; square and mullioned windows puncture the walls; warm yellow-beige limestone walls sit above a grassy slope and small gravel forecourt, all intact at the castle's prime.
