Château de Wineck, Rock castle in Dambach, France
The pentagonal keep of the castle reaches 20 meters in height and features dressed stone walls with a square base of 7 by 7.5 meters.
The fortress, constructed near 1300 for the Windstein family, functioned as an observation post alongside the defensive network of Château de Schoeneck.
The French Ministry of Culture designated the castle as a monument historique in 1984, recognizing its structural elements and regional defensive architecture.
Visitors can reach the castle through a marked path with yellow discs from the parking area along D53 road between Obersteinbach and Wineckerthal.
The entrance to the castle structure incorporates a gallery carved directly into the rock face, with a door positioned halfway up the cliff.
