A seven-meter-wide ring moat surrounds the castle hill three meters below the edge of the plateau . In addition, a ring wall, also seven meters wide, was placed in front of this trench. The jump height, i.e. the height difference between the crest of the wall and the bottom of the trench, is 1.8 meters. On the outside of the wall there are still the remains of a terrace. On the northwest side of the castle hill, where the street Am Kirchplatz leads into the village, the moat is now filled, otherwise the moat and the wall are well preserved.
