Burg Altwinnenden, Medieval castle ruins in Winnenden, Germany.

The remains of Altwinnenden Castle stand on a hilltop near Höfen-Stöckenhof road, featuring the original stone keep from the 12th century.

The Lords of Winnenden established the castle in 1181, with Gottfried von Winnenden constructing the keep before the structure expanded in 1212 and 1225.

The castle ruins demonstrate the medieval architectural techniques of German defensive structures and represent the regional building practices of Baden-Württemberg.

Multiple hiking trails connect to the castle site, including the Panoramaweg loop from Bürg, which covers 4.14 kilometers with a moderate elevation gain.

The castle's keep remained standing while the rest of the structure was demolished between 1536 and 1538, creating a notable landmark in the Stuttgart District.
