Known as Çem Kalesi, the castle is on a high rock overlooking the plain. The west and east directions of the hill are very steep and inaccessible. The entrance to the castle is through the arched door on the left of the northwestern bastion. On the left side of the entrance door, there is an inscription carved into the stone and very worn. There is a cross motif in a circle carved into stone on the right side of the entrance door. The high relief placed inside the arch walls on the upper part of the arched entrance door attracts attention with two lion figures facing each other. A window was opened above the door in order to control the entrance to the castle. There is a cross motif in a circle to the left of the window opening, the superstructure of which is made of rubble stones. It is certain that the inscription standing upside down at the bottom right of the window and an architectural piece above this inscription were used as spolia. Considering these materials used in this section above the entrance door, it can be said that the window opening in question was made later. On the outer surface of the bastion located on the right side of the entrance gate, there is a lion figure made in the form of relief on the entrance side.
