For a fiefdom of 20,000 koku, Mori's castle was rather large. Centered around a 3 story donjon it was fortified by 5 two story yagura, a one story yagura, and 7 gates. The donjon burned down in [[1617]] not long after it was completed after being struck by lightning. Besides one gate, the only remnants of the castle are some stone walls, the donjon foundation, and two castle wells. 12 Generations of Mori ruled from Saiki Castle until the coming of the [[Meiji Period]].
