description

The area of ​​the castle on the summit of the mountain spur is cut off from the adjacent mountain by a semicircular neck ditch and an immediately following wall. The trench is still about 1.80 meters deep from the fore area, the difference in height between the bottom of the trench and the ridge is four meters. To the southeast of the complex is a later quarry that damaged parts of the external fortifications.

The approximately 60 by 30 meter large castle was divided into a slightly lower bailey area , which follows the moat and also extends to the south of the castle stable, and into an upper castle on the highest point of the site. On the southern edge of the outer bailey, several remains of the wall have been preserved (cover picture), which are made of roughly cut stones. Several pits are visible on the area of ​​the upper castle, probably the locations of earlier buildings, the foundation walls of the easternmost have been preserved.

The ground monument registered by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments as "Medieval Castle Stables" has the monument number D-3-6537-0026.
