Originally fortified with seven towers and a wide clearing surrounding the village center, two towers and a large section of the wall remain. A knights’ residence, constructed in 1544 incorporates fragments of this wall adjacent to the Breschturm - or ‘Broken Tower’- which still reveals a hole made by a cannonball fired by the attacking Swedish during the Thirty Years’ War.

The opposite side fronts the cutting and kitchen gardens, a much-loved feature of the ‘Sun Garden’ retirement home. The maintenance garage and storage building forms a barrier and a backdrop – the placement and size of the structure separates quiet environs of the gardens from the noisy agricultural traffic in the direct proximity of the site.
