The last part of the bridge was a drawbridge which could be raised in case of danger. By pulling on two ropes that were part of a rope and pulley system, the drawbridge could be lifted. The ropes no longer serve a purpose today. 

The recess in the wall, into which the raised bridge was sunk flush, is still clearly recognisable.

The ditch, which is between 6 and 8 metres deep and equally wide, was created during the time of the “Gallerin” and is said to have been carved out of the rock by 600 Turkish prisoners. 

If you look into the moat from the front edge of the tavern, you can see a sun-shaped depression in the lower edge of the rock. This depression was created by a grenade explosion during World War II. 

The figure of a Turkish warrior sits in an embrasure of the building, behind the moat. This figure symbolises that the castle was never conquered by the armies of the Ottomans and Magyars.
