Windeck Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Bühl, Germany
The castle ruins stand on a 378-meter-high spur in the Black Forest region, featuring a bergfried, tower, and sections of curtain wall.
The lords of Windeck constructed the castle around 1200, with the first documented mention of the family appearing in records from 1212.
Two bergfrieds marked the castle structure, with the northern one protecting the gate and the southern one serving as a refuge during conflicts.
Visitors can explore the castle remains at Kappelwindeckstraße 104 in Bühl, where a hotel, restaurant, and snack bar operate at the base.
A devastating fire in the late 14th century destroyed valuable archives and buildings, leading to reconstruction efforts by Reinhard von Windeck.
