The castle has rectangular fortress walls, including four circular-shaped towers for defence and a rebuilt central defence tower above the entrance to the inner courtyard. The castle chapel used to stand in the courtyard wing but was later moved to the western defence tower. The castle was declared a cultural monument of national importance by the Act of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, Uradni list No 81/1999.
The castle and its immediate surroundings offer one of the most magnificent landscapes of Slovenia which was described by the writer Ivan Tavčar in his novels Janez Sonce and The Island and the Stream.
