The castle itself was built in a classic European style with Flemish-Renaissance shades, which are characteristic of many buildings in Hungary and Germany. The architectural appearance of such a castle is in many ways reminiscent of numerous German defensive castles, which were also built in Hungary under the reign of numerous kings and queens of Hungary.
