The original castle has almost disappeared, apart from the keep with staircase tower (16th century). In the keep you will find a Gothic fireplace and stucco work from 1716, in baroque style, with coats of arms of the Van Afferden family. The castle is completely surrounded by a wide moat, which is fed by the Wijerbeek that flows past the castle. The castle is accessible via a stone bridge over this stream. This was once a drawbridge. On the other side of that bridge you will find the castle farm. The 18th century house, which has an older core, is also still present.

The whole was extensively renovated at the end of the 19th century. For example, neo-Gothic battlements were placed on the keep. The terrace also dates from that time.
