 The castle's entrance was secured by three nested gates.During the expansion work in the open area between the Upper Castle and the Lower Castle, the mighty tithe barn arose, along with a new castle church, extensive administration buildings along the castle road and beside the "Kellerei" (“stewardship”, in fact the tithe barn) more buildings for the "Amtmann" and the scrivener.While only a few of the inhabitants down below in the dale on the brook's right bank were the "Burgmannen"’s serfs, those living within the "Burgfrieden" continually had to perform compulsory labour for the lordship at the castle.
