    The complex, which was still preserved and inhabited around 1830, was used as a quarry in the late 19th century, which is why it is largely in ruins today. The hilltop castle stands on a mountain spur that slopes steeply on three sides; it thus dominated the past Bergische Eisenstrasse, later named Hileweg in 1048.
    In addition to the walls, the more than 20-meter-high, round donjon, which has a Baroque dome and is partially slated, and building remains from the 14th to 18th centuries and a polygonal bastion from the 15th / 16th centuries have been preserved. Century, which was expanded in 1757 and 1932/33.


    Only the outer bailey can be visited at any time.
    The buildings in which the von Hatzfeldtsche Försterei are housed are privately owned.
