In 1844, a fourth storey was added and topped with neo-Gothic battlements. At the end of the 19th century, it was expanded to include a secondary school, and in the 1930s, another wing was added. The resulting building is now a school complex.

The historic tower and its underground are open to the public. The exhibition spans three floors. The basement is devoted to Opole's fortifications, the first floor is dedicated to the history of the Upper Castle, and the second floor contains documents and engravings relating to the castle.

The castle's dungeon is also open to the public.
