investment
Considerable remnants of the surrounding walls are still preserved from the former castle complex , the outer bailey (75 meters × 25 meters) is well preserved and accessible, the main castle is not due to the risk of collapse. The main castle is increasingly falling into disrepair and is overgrown by bushes and trees. The inner gatehouse and the residential buildings of the outer bailey are inhabited. The ruin has been a sight on the Staufer road since 1997 .
External gate construction
The outer castle gate is connected to the gatehouse . Originally the gatehouse was the home of the goalkeeper, later it was expanded and used as a village school until 1881. The striking building of the outer bailey, in particular the front with the archway, is now perceived locally as the landmark of the village of Lauterburg. The property "Äusseres Burgtor" has been owned by the Rieder family and their descendants since 1881.
