The castle hill is a striking feature in its surroundings and stands at a considerable height. A fortified outer bailey now stands on the western side of the Augraben. The river was once straightened, separating the main bailey and outer bailey. Until recently, both fortifications were mistakenly considered independent castles. However, they were demonstrably part of a rampart that was surrounded by the Augraben. An outer bailey settlement was located east of the castle hill on a natural islet. A circular rampart, approximately 70 m in diameter, stood on a raised islet in the Augraben valley. Late 9th to 10th century. Below the castle lay a small section of rampart, the function of which is unknown today.
