Since the patron saint of the church was Saint Virgil, it could not have been consecrated before his canonization in 1233. Hartwig is named as its first provost in 1240. In the second half of the 13th century, the vice-cathedral office passed into the hands of the provosts. The provost's office was in possession of a library of European importance. In 1309, the provost's office was destroyed by fire for the first time. The walls that are present today date from the reconstruction of the church. The provost's office was abandoned in 1606. After another fire in 1752, only the choir of the church was roofed in 1754. The church was deconsecrated in 1786. The final decay of the church began after the last fire in 1816. Although work had begun to secure the church ruins in 1894, the triumphal arch collapsed in 1926. In addition to the sparse remains of the provost's building in the south of the church, only the walls of the former three-bay choir with a 5/8 end remain. The walls are supported by double-stepped flying buttresses.

The fortifications of the Burgweg with 14 large gate structures leading in several turns through the rocky terrain to the top are characteristic and interesting from a fortress point of view. This road overcomes deeper rock notches at a moderate incline, occasionally leads along carved rock walls or widens to weapon sites until it reaches the main castle. A second approach, called the Narrensteig, leads up the steep, rocky western slope, is partly carved into the rock and leads into the castle without touching the gates of the main path. This access was blocked off by a defensive transverse wall erected at the lowest part with a few additions that no longer exist today. Both defensible approaches existed in earlier times, as reported by the 13th-century chronicler Unrest. Due to its age, the castle can be found both as a medieval fortress and as a fortress in the modern sense. A document from 1388 mentions the original design, consisting of a square tower or keep, the adjoining living quarters (palas), the small castle chapel and protective walls with battlements (wintperge) and embrasures, when the crossbow was still the main weapon. The actual core of the complex, the stronghold, is an independent defense body that includes older parts. The gates, partly in red sandstone, partly in green chlorite slate and enriched with white limestone or marble, are noteworthy as Mannerist architecture.
