The originally wide courtyard was built with wings (with pent roofs ) so that only a small central courtyard remained. A kennel wall running parallel to the main castle with double-row key and mouth notches and two round towers was built in the second half of the 15th century.

On the ground floor there is a medieval beam ceiling on a bevelled wooden pillar . On the second floor is a prince's room with late Gothic paneling, which was covered with Empire painting from 1806 to 1809 . The former courtroom with a roughened, richly profiled field ceiling from the end of the 15th century is located on the second floor .
