The central castle complex contains clustered towers and battlements, gateways, arched bridges, and inner courtyards, with detailed stonework and cylindrical keep-like structures. Outside the castle walls are rectilinear plots, pathways, and groups of buildings including chapels or larger rectangular structures, while the outer landscape features gently rolling hills and scattered vegetation. Decorative cartographic elements like a compass rose and ribbon-like banners appear near the top, and there are shaded areas and fine hatching throughout that convey texture and depth.
