The castle, whose oldest foundations date back to 1740, acquired its neoclassical appearance around 1820. It was subsequently renovated several times. It also played a significant role in World War II, first serving as a camp for German troops and later for American ones. In 2010, it was abandoned, and its roof eventually collapsed. It was then nicknamed "Hotel Congo" and became a destination for "urbexers" (decay photographers). Until 2016, when it was purchased by an investor and converted into apartments.
