Originally, the castle consisted of three elements: the upper castle, the middle castle and the lower castle. The highest part of the castle was built on the plan of an irregular pentagon, the middle castle was located to the north, while the lower castle occupied the most extensive eastern part. In the chapel on one of the walls was once painted the image of the griffin, from which the name of the castle comes.
