This castle is broadly split into three huge sections. You have the Diet Hall, The Knight’s Hall followed by the circular stairways. There are rectangular and circular towers that were used for both prisoners as well as defense purposes.

The architecture reflects a magnificent gothic style that lays a spotlight over the already impressive structure. During the lifetime of Hunyadi, the condition of the castle was untouched and kept in the regal state. But soon after his death, its condition started to decline quickly.
