As it stood in 1525
The shape it held in its prime.
A horseshoe-shaped three-storey sandstone main building with heavy outer walls and regularly spaced windows faces a broad moat; red clay-tile roofs cap steep gables and a long timber-framed service building runs along the water's edge. A cylindrical brick stair-tower with decorative banding rises above the roofline. The inner courtyard is closed off by a chapel and a lower defensive wall; an outer defensive courtyard and gateways sit between the main block and the surrounding woods.
