Burg Winzingen, Medieval castle ruin in Haardt an der Weinstraße, Germany.
The fortress stands at 236 meters above sea level on a southeastern spur of Schlossberg mountain, overlooking the Palatinate wine region.
The castle's first documented mention dates to 1146 when Knight Berthold of Winzingen resided there, later passing to Emperor Frederick Barbarossa's half-brother.
The remaining structures include the Romanesque ring wall, chapel ruins, vaulted cellar, and tower fragments, representing medieval defensive architecture.
The privately owned ruins remain accessible through hiking trails from Neustadt an der Weinstraße, with guided tours available through local tourism offices.
Kurfürst Friedrich II was born within these castle walls in 1482, marking its significance in German electoral history.
