    Medieval remains can be found in the lower areas of the watchtower, which was probably once the keep. It is integrated into the curtain wall at a corner - this type of construction is very unusual. A gate and the foundation walls of several residential buildings that date from more recent times are attached to the tower. Medieval remains can also be found in the surrounding curtain wall, which has only been preserved at a low height.

    A low wall divides the huge ruin into two parts, the rear part was probably the core of the castle. On the engraving by Wening you can see a chapel and other buildings in this area, of which not much can be found today. At the very back the remainder of a large rectangular wall tower, which opens inwards today, but which is closed on the stitch at Wening. From here a very nice view over the Danube valley!
