Remains of the keep, several cellars, outer walls of buildings and the extensive kennel with the outer towers have been preserved from the castle. The towers of the kennel have embrasures for firearms. The castle originally had a three-wing complex consisting of a long building, a stable building and a kitchen building, which was surrounded by a curtain wall. The castle was connected to the city fortifications of the city of Amöneburg and was built from locally sourced basalt. Window and door frames are made of sandstone.
The freely accessible castle ruins serve as the backdrop for the OpenEyes film festival every summer.

There's a lot to see here in the ruins. So better come here on foot.

Even though it is “only” a ruin of the former castle, it is still great here.
