Neo-Gothic castle is a romantic imitation of Tudor Gothic. The original building was built in the year 1633 in the times of brothers Daniel and Paul Esterhazy as a Renaissance fortified building. In 1736 it was rebuilt into Baroque style and in 1860 by Joseph Esterhazy again into its today's neo-Gothic form. The building is not available to the public.
Currently the city is looking for a suitable investor for its reconstruction. In 2011, the north wing reconstruction was completed from the sources of structural funds. A park, located next to the palace was enriched with exotic trees and majestic oaks specimens date back to the 2nd half of the 19th century.

Neogotický kaštiel je romantická napodobnenina tudorovskej gotiky. Pôvodný objekt dali postavit v r. 1633 bratia Daniel a Pavol Esterházyovci ako renesancný opevnený objekt. V r. 1736 bol prestavaný v barokovom slohu a v roku 1860 bol prestavaný Jozefom Esterházym do dnešnej neogotickej podoby. Objekt nie je sprístupnený verejnosti. Momentálne hladá mesto vhodného investora pre jeho rekonštrukciu. V roku 2011 sa dokoncila rekonštrukcia severného krídla z prostriedkov štrukturálnych fondov. Park, vedla kaštiela, obohatený o exotické dreviny a majestátne exempláre dubov je z 2.polovice 19.stor.
