The castle consists of four wings built of brick and provided with curled wall anchors. The whole is covered by hipped roofs of slate. The southern corner tower is topped by a bell-shaped spire while the other three corner towers have a tent roof. Each corner tower is crowned by a roof turret. The southern corner tower is built of marlstone and dates from the 15th century, the other parts of the castle are the result of thorough adjustments in the 17th century.
The front facade of the castle on the southeastern side has two floors and is thirteen bays wide. Above each bay is a dormer window. The middle bay was converted into a monumental entrance gate at the beginning of the 18th century by Frans van Hinnisdael, Count of Betho. This gate was provided with a rectangular frame spread over two floors. In the second floor is a rectangular window with balustrade. The whole is crowned by a pediment showing the coat of arms of the van Hinnisdael family.
The other wings of the castle date from the middle of the 17th century, these wings are also built of brick and marlstone.
The farm dates back to the 17th century. The buildings are built of brick and have hipped and saddle roofs covered with slates. The northwestern facade of the farm contains a central round-arched entrance gate with a limestone frame. On either side of this entrance gate are living areas that protrude from the facade like risalits.
