        The castle was built on a natural hill above today's village and is therefore a hilltop castle. The ruins of the castle that still exist today consist of an irregular pentagonal to polygonal floor plan and include the core castle in the north-west and the lower-lying outer bailey on the west side. The remains of the wall have been preserved in the first place, and part of a late Gothic pointed arch window can be found in the opening in the northern longitudinal wall. East of the core complex is the Catholic Church of St. Dionysius, which partly goes back to the medieval castle chapel.
