The castle's layout is rectangular. In addition to parts of the outer bailey and a gate – the so-called Gymnicher Porz – remnants of the defensive wall have also been preserved. Furthermore, on the south side of the complex stands an old gate tower (also called the Schellenturm), next to which are the ruins of the palace, which once housed a heated bishop's chamber. The first keep presumably stood on the pointed rocky outcrop in the northern corner. Extensive remains of the Romanesque castle chapel from the 12th century have been preserved to the north.
