The castle is of the linked type, meaning that the keep forms as a part of the wall. On the south-east the walls are connected with a gatehouse. on the north-east the don-jon is connected to the keep via a bridge.

The general style is Bohemian-medieval-esque.

Ownership
The original owners were of the Karlowitz family. The last known lord was named Karl Karlowitz. After the lord's death, the castle was auctioned off to Yaszrian citizens.

The coat of arms of the Karlowitz castle feature the mud trout, one of the famous aquatic fauna in that area. It's name originates from the fish's destinct taste of mud and dirt. The castle stands on top of a lake esophagus, which drains the lake's overflow of water. Because of its power, it also sucks and throws up loose mud, which affect the waters colour.

The trout is represented travelling upstream, symbolising struggle and hope of a better life.

The fish is surrounded by green background, representing the 2 deep forests south and north.
