In addition to the fortifications on the inside, residential wings delimited the central courtyard. Today, the best preserved of the buildings is the short eastern wing with the remains of a Gothic brick vault. An extensive vaulted cellar has been preserved from the buildings on the north side of the courtyard.
Disputes over property between the two branches continued, and the inventory of property on the occasion of its division in 1412 in the St. George's branch also preserved data on the Biely Kameň castle and its description. According to him, the castle had two towers, one large in the middle and the other smaller. The buildings inside the castle itself were in two rows along the longer sides of the rectangle. The census, the palace and the chapel under which the cellar was explicitly mentioned in the census.
The inner castle, protected by an irregular oval fortification, had only one gate on the northeast side, above which was a bastion, popularly called "erkel". The access road to it led over the bridge over the moat. In addition to the tower with the gate, there were two other towers in the outer area. Around the outer wall, on its inner side were farm buildings, of which only the baker's building is mentioned. The upper castle and the entire lower part had a number of chambers, which indicate that the castle must have had considerable reserves. Of these buildings, only the remains in the form of a cellar or parts of the perimeter walls in places protruding above the terrain are preserved today.
