The castle stands on an artificially heaped hill, which is surrounded by the Nidder. The river also supplies the water for the moat that surrounds the castle. The ruin is located just north of the old town of Niederdorfelden and can be reached via dirt roads in a short walk.

The moated castle is still completely surrounded by a moat. On an artificial hill. The north-western part of the ring wall and the massive round tower in the south have been preserved. The eastern round tower has been preserved in its foundations. The buildings have completely disappeared. The beam hole that locked the gate can still be seen on the western ring wall.
