Two surrounding moats with a rampart in between have been preserved to this day. The inner moat encloses the oldest castle, an oval structure with a diameter of around 70 m, in whose ring of walls in the southwest the 33 m high keep is integrated. This has a circular floor plan and its entrance is at a height of 12 m. To the west there is a 34 m long castle-like extension with a small inner courtyard. Renovations in the castle area took place mainly in the Renaissance, which can be seen particularly in the windows and portals. A wooden pulpit altar in the castle chapel from the end of the 17th century has also been preserved. The furnishings, dated "1681" but unsigned, are attributed to Martin Kraft. Also worth seeing are the count's office, the Princess Marie Pauline restaurant, the knight's cellar, the prince's and mirror hall, the baroque castle chapel and the keep.

Nice ambience and a place of security.
A beautiful location but unfortunately currently not accessible due to the current situation

Great ambience and great half-timbered houses. In addition, there are prepared things that tell the life of the castle
