Inside the tower there are still recognizable a huge hearth, a remnant of a stairs and a toilet. The Bergfried was the northernmost of the fortress and residence of the bailiffs and governors of Wassenberg. From here the extensive Meinweg area was ran. Among others emperor Maximilian II in 1505 and emperor Charles V visited the castle.
