The castle is located on the south side of the old town of Maienfeld.
 On the north side of the complex is the main tower, a six story, 12.5 by 12.5 meters (41 ft × 41 ft) square tower with walls that are 2.5 m (8.2 ft) thick.
 The original high entrance was located on south-west side on the third story.
 The fifth story is decorated with paintings from about 1320.
 The works at Brandis are the only known works by an artist known as the Waltensburg master which are in a secular building.
 The paintings include scenes from the life of Samson and Theoderic the Great, depictions of inns or taverns and coats of arms.

Surrounding the tower on the east and west are a residential wing and the remains of the old part of the castle.
 North of the tower is a semi-circular part of the old ring wall.
 South of the tower is a courtyard and the new castle which was built in the 15th century under the Toggenburg counts.
