Unfortunately, the view of the castle from the entrance area on Schlossstrasse (title photo) is now completely overgrown and no longer available 😒, on Elfenweg you drive along the house wall (not a photo opportunity).

The castle is surrounded by a pond on all four sides. A stone bridge with a Nepomuk statue leads to the castle. A projecting corner turret can be seen at one corner. The back is surmounted by a mighty tower with an onion roof. There are open arcades with granite columns on both the ground floor and first floor. To the left of the tower there is an open terrace with a granite balustrade on the first floor. There are a number of stone figures in the surrounding castle park
