A few chunks of wall and a metal plaque bear witness to the former castle. However, the castle hill, as well as the outer wall ring, is still easy to recognize the terrain. There are also two small fire pits there.
The ascent is easily manageable by a small trampling pad.

Apart from a remnant of the wall and the castle hill, nothing remains to be seen. Only worthwhile for castle fans.

At first glance, there's not much left to see, but the trained eye can still spot quite a few things. If you'd like to learn more about the castle, its history, and the archaeological finds, I recommend this 10-minute documentary:
