Today only part of the curtain wall and a section of the wall adjoining the keep are preserved.

The castle was 40 by 25 meters with a wall height of 15 meters. Since it was bordered on three sides by steep cliffs, it was practically only accessible from the west side via a one meter wide suspension bridge. On the southeastern curtain wall (Bering) was a four-story half-timbered building as a hall.

At the highest point of the site was a pentagonal keep, which was up to three meters thick. It was four storeys high and could only be entered via a ladder.

The Kammerstein castle ruins lie hidden in the woods above Perchtoldsdorf and lend your hike a touch of medieval atmosphere. Among the ancient walls and rocks, you'll find cozy spots for a shady break. Ideal as a short, exciting detour on hiking or running routes in the Vienna Woods.

At the entrance to the Dürren Liesing valley, at a height of 420 meters, lies the Kammerstein castle ruins, one of the oldest castle ruins in Austria, and probably even the oldest in Lower Austria.
