Only a moat and a section wall with a moat have survived from the system on a mountain spur . The castle site is protected as a ground monument number D-2-7340-0075: "Burgstall des Mittelalter". About 500 meters north of it is another fortification, the Oberholsbach section fortification, which is attributed to the early Middle Ages.

description

The now wooded, two-part castle site is located at around 450  m above sea level. NN Height above the valley floor of a stream on a mountain spur directed to the south-southwest, which juts out from a small plateau. With the exception of the north-north-east side, which rises slightly into the widening plateau, all sides drop steeply to the valley and were thus naturally well protected.

The castle area, which is around 50 meters long in the north-east-south-west direction and 35 meters wide in the north-west-south-east direction, is sealed off in the north-east by an arched ditch . The depth of this trench is seven meters from the castle plateau to the bottom of the trench, and eight meters from the fore area, its two ends in the south and west of the mountain spur run out into the mountainside. From these points, a slope ditch runs around the top of the mountain spur as additional protection for the castle cone. On the northwest side, the slope trench is accompanied by an outer wall that is now heavily flattened.

To the northeast in front of the area of ​​the core castle secured by the neck ditch was a second part of the castle, probably a bailey , which extended up to 15 meters in front of the neck ditch. This outer bailey was limited to the plateau in the northeast by an arched section wall, which was also preceded by a ditch. Remnants of the wall or other traces of building are no longer present.
