It was built in two parts on a narrow rocky outcropping above the entrance to the Domleschg Valley. The upper castle was first built around 1250 and was expanded around 1273. Was added a third story to the tower in the late 15th century. By 1570 was described as a ruin. A two story main tower and an attached residential wing were added to the north-east of the palas. The northern side of the courtyard was terraced for farming. Today very little of the lower castle remains. Beginning in 1979 the communities of Domleschg and the Burgenvereine Graubünden added a new roof and repaired and rebuilt the castle. The ruins were excavated in 1980, 1982 and 1990. Today the castle grounds are open for visitors and the tower can be rented by small groups.
