The fortified complex is located on a plateau above the village of Viacamp and consists of the remains of the perimeter wall, a slender cylindrical tower and a hermitage of Romanesque origin, possibly the castle chapel.

The tower has a circular plan, a diameter of about 11 meters and a height of 20 meters, with walls almost 3 meters thick. As it is built, it seems to have been built both inside and outside with the help of a double scaffold, which is due to the great thickness of the walls.

Like most defensive structures of the period, the ground floor was walled, with a high, round-arched entrance facing south-east. The ground floor was used as a storage room and is not accessible from the outside.

After the restoration work carried out in 2005 and 2006, it was found that the tower had five floors, although only four of them remain today. The upper part, which has now disappeared, could have been made up of small defensive openings in the form of battlements or a conical roof. Very close to the tower and within the walls is the church of San Esteban de Viacamp, of Romanesque origin, a classic among the fortresses of the Upper Ragon. Originally dedicated to the Archangel Michael, it was later dedicated to Saint Stephen. Next to the church is the old cemetery, which has not been abandoned.

The remains of the external enclosure are in the areas bordering the plateau and are made of ashlar and masonry with some high-quality parts. Remains of walls and foundations or the beginnings of towers have been preserved, although they are not very high.
