Beautiful view all around the Knüllgebirge. Especially through the tower windows.

The almost square inner castle is surrounded by a strong shield wall, large parts of which are still preserved. Many other buildings were demolished to obtain materials. A round stair tower that remained was recently converted into a lookout tower by installing a spiral staircase. Only a few remains of the walls of the spacious outer castle have survived. The former moat has been filled in.
