Ruine Plixholz, Medieval castle ruins in Windeck, Germany.

The stone remains of Plixholz Castle stand on elevated ground, featuring walls, a vaulted cellar, and foundations of two round towers on its south side.

The castle complex, first documented in 1562, served as residence for the Brömser family until 1666 when ownership transferred to Baron von Metternich.

From 1675 to 1760, a Calvinist community established their presence within the castle grounds, marking a period of religious transformation in the region.

The ruins connect to the Weibspfad, a medieval road, and visitors can examine the remnants of a draw well in the eastern section of the grounds.

The castle grounds encompass 11 hectares of fields, meadows, and small forest areas, with the Nothgottes Monastery located 600 meters to the south.
