Winterstein Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Here you can marvel at the remains of Winterstein Castle, which was first mentioned in 1326. Although only a few walls, the gatehouse and parts of a corner tower remain, it is exciting to explore the area.

Highlight • Castle

The castle is privately owned, so it can only be admired from a distance. The church was picturesquely built into a rock massif.
