Parts of the ring wall are still preserved in the north and northwest. Remains of buildings are visible on the inside of the north wall. Also still preserved is a round tower, which has in the lower area Humpback cuboid. Presumably these are from the second half of the 12th century. The remains of another round tower are lost at the foot of the hill on which the castle stands. The castle is completely surrounded by a round moat.

It is really worth exploring the entire small area of the ruin.

On the edge of the village in the Nidderauen there is a moated castle on an artificial hill, the ancestral seat of the Counts of Hanau.

This castle is first mentioned in 1234
