The roughly 50 x 50 metre castle plateau lies on an eminence that is surrounded by steep hillsides.
It is protected on all sides by a wide moat.
The direct access to the castle was built in the form of a zwinger in front of the gateway whose walls are still 4 metres high today.
Parts of the enceinte of the castle still exists.
There is an information board at the entrance to the castle site, although there is a risk of collapse or falling due to the state of the ruined walls and the steep hillsides.
