In addition to the area around the castle, the Counts had close relations with the Herrschaft of Rhäzüns.

The Kropfenstein line died out in the 15th century and the castle began to fall into disrepair.

[2] The castle is reached through a path that was cut into the rock on the east side.

The castle walls follow the edge of the cliff making its shape very irregular.

Due to the overhanging rock wall, the castle remains in generally good condition with limited weathering.
