What travelers say:
A Norman castle with a characteristic style, whether it is a north train or a day trip to the Giant Road will pass through this building on the coastline. The size of the whole castle is not small, and it is better preserved than the castle near the Giant Road. Relying on the prominent part of the sea, it makes the sea view great.
