As it stood in 1622
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, four-wing white plastered water castle set on an island in a calm firth, with four cylindrical corner towers rising directly from the water and conical slate roofs; steep red-tiled gabled roofs and dormers punctuate the roofline and a small central cupola tops the main block. Narrow, regularly spaced vertical windows, a plain stone base at water level and smooth white façades reflect clearly in the surrounding moat-like inlet. Trees and reed beds fringe the water around the island.
