The complex consists of a well-preserved core mound with a diameter of 17 x 20 m, which is surrounded by a 10 m wide moat. The hill is still three meters high. The building that now stands on the site of the original tower was probably built shortly after the Thirty Years' War and probably served as a servants' or retirement home. Remnants of the older structure, such as masonry blocks and parts of a barrel vault, were most likely reused during construction. The (current) appearance goes back to reconstruction measures in the 19th century.

It's a shame I didn't read that until later. I seem to have walked past the sign.
