Title

Name in English

The castle building consisted of a regular rectangular floor plan and was lined with a thick wall from 2 to 2.7 meters. The rampart with an adjacent ditch was connected on the northern side to the rock cliff. In the southeast, the ditch was stuck in a rock gorge and so the material for building the castle was obtained. On its southeast side was a stone residential tower with a thick wall. The ground floor was accessible by a small portal from the courtyard, where a 6 m deep tank was excavated. The northern tower was not a kind of bergfrit, but as the underpass passed through the ground floor, it was more like a gate tower.The castle had no ward and although it was small in size, it fulfills the idea of a guard and control point in a strategic position. The foundations of this castle were archaeologically uncovered in the 1980s.
