description

The castle is located 190 meters west-north-west of the Catholic branch and pilgrimage church Vierzehn-Nothelfer von Neuhofen on a spur that protrudes to the west, which on its north side and on the western tip of the valley of a nameless tributary of the Stettinger Bach , which after a short run at Besensandbach into the Danube opens, is limited. On the south-east side of the castle site, at the foot of a sloping terrain, there is a small road to which the Seidlmühle connects. It is surrounded to the west by the stream, which forms a loop extending to the west from its otherwise north-south course. The castle complex at around 380  m above sea level. NN Höhe was naturally well protected against approach on three sides, access was only possible on the east side rising towards Neuhofen.

The inner surface of the wooded castle site on a steeply sloping terrain spur is sealed off from the rising fore area by a ditch that is only slightly deep. This trench continues, where it reaches the two slope edges in the northeast and in the southeast of the fortification, as a slope trench to the west until just before the tip of the spur. In addition, the northern slope trench is only slightly pronounced. The uneven inner surface, interspersed with rocks, measures 25 meters in east-west direction and is 14 meters wide. There are excavation holes in the western and south-eastern areas, and an excavation cone was poured into the slope ditch below via a channel in the middle of the northern edge of the area of ​​the castle site.

To the west towards the spur tip, the inner surface is joined by a deeper, draft-shaped plateau of eight by five meters, which is bordered by the two slope ditches.
