In 1586 it fell victim to a major fire. It was still used in the following years, but fell into disrepair. At the end of the 18th century it was decided to demolish the castle. The remains of the castle complex can be seen high up on a rocky outcrop and since 1969 it has been a protected monument that cannot be entered.
