    The carrot or five-arch bridge forms the connection between the outer and main castle. After 1859 the bridge was widened by about 1.20 meters on both sides. The existence of a late medieval previous bridge has been proven archaeologically; Documents mentioned this from 1322 onwards. The bridge has embankment walls on both sides, which in addition to the ornamental function on the south side also accommodate the steep embankments. The bridge, like the castle, rested on a pile foundation. The parapet wall of the carrot bridge is mirrored on both sides with sculptures of a sphinx, putti and fruit baskets.
