Winneburg, Castle ruin in Cochem, Germany.

The Winneburg castle ruins stand 80 meters above the Endert valley, featuring preserved sections of walls, towers, and a 20-meter-long great hall.

Built in the 13th century by the Wirich of Wunnenberg family, the castle faced destruction in 1689 when French troops under King Louis XIV attacked the region.

The castle grounds host medieval event reconstructions during summer, including traditional spear running and celebrations that represent life from the 15th century.

Located four kilometers from central Cochem at coordinates 50.1559 latitude and 7.14275 longitude, the site connects to several hiking trails in the area.

According to local records, the castle includes remnants of 15th-century housing structures and outbuildings that reveal medieval architectural techniques.
