The former town of Glanzenberg was located on the Limmat, which flowed 300 meters further north in the 13th century, on an area of 180 meters long and 45 (east side) to 110 (west side) meters wide. The 1.2 meter thick city wall had a main gate on the north side, while there were smaller passages towards the Limmat.

The city does not seem to have been completed: remnants of the city wall, some of which did not grow beyond the foundation pit, have been preserved. Parts of the moat on the land side are faintly visible in the terrain. Wooden and some stone buildings stood along the north, east and south walls. There is no clear evidence of violent destruction.
