    Due to its location, it dominates the river and the bridge at the highest point of the valley. It was built on a Veton fort, built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 14th-15th centuries. It has a square floor plan and covers an area of about 1,700 square metres, not counting the missing rooms such as the moat, the counter-moat, the rake, the dovecote or the stables.
    The main door has a Gothic arch with large voussoirs, to the right is the keep, square, through which you can access the battlements and towers.
