By the end of the 16th century the castle was already entirely abandoned; care was taken, however, to ensure that it didn’t become completely dilapidated, and at least the rear palace was secured. Attempts were also made to preserve the castle in the 19th century; the ruins were partially secured and conserved in the 1930’s when the outlook deck of the tower was also repaired.
