Over time, the castle was filled with secondary buildings in a quadrilaterally shaped enclosure.

During the Second World War part of the castle was destroyed and its collections were burned by the communists[2] or stolen after nationalization.

Before the destruction of the castle, the library contained 9,000 volumes, consisting of collections of rare books.

After 1944, only part of the masonry was rebuilt in 1975-76 and Kornis chapel was taken over by the Romanian Orthodox Church.

The castle is known for the statues of two unicorns which guarded the entry until recently, when they were removed after a failed burglary attempt.
