The Bishop's Palace originally consisted of several long thatched houses of two storeys. For greater security a castle was erected close to it in 1408, which comprised a great hall, vaulted granaries, etc. In 1508, a wing was added to the palace and, adjoining to it, a private chapel. Nothing now remains.
