Laudeck castle
It stands on a mighty rock of crystalline slate.
The castle hill on the northern and western side of the mountain descends moderately steeply to the pond (castle pond) and to the village of Ladis.
The core piece is the mighty keep. Attached to this massive residential tower are the chapel and the palace in the northeast. A ring wall encloses the castle area to the north.
Projecting from the ring wall to the north is the north tower (residential building). From there, the ring wall continues westward to the gate tower with the castle entrance and then runs further south to the cliff. This creates an outer bailey, which is reinforced by a small zwinger north of the keep. In the southeast, the castle is open to the storm; to the north, the ring wall and towers shield access to the castle.
