Junkernthal Castle, still the residence of the Barons von Hövel, is part of Wingendorf's district. The entire complex with the large villa, which probably dates from the middle of the 19th century, various outbuildings such as the forester's house, the castle park with the old trees and the baroque garden pavilion, the family cemetery and the bridge over the Asdorfer Bach is a listed building.

The castle complex also includes the Freiherr von Hövelsche Rentei, also known as the Old Rentei, on the opposite side of the Asdorfer Bach in the district of Freusburg, which served as a kind of outer bailey. Junkernthal Castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.

There is no information about the original appearance of the late medieval noble seat; nor are any remains of the old buildings preserved. Some of the farm buildings, such as a brewery with a mansard roof, are still preserved, as is the gatehouse from 1742 and the pigeon house with a pagoda roof. A baroque pavilion directly on the Asdorfer Bach has also been preserved. Today's manor house was built above the stream in 1864.

The access to Junkernthal Castle branches off from the Alsdorf valley bike path. The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited. But it is nice to look at and the forest paths from there are also very beautiful. The Alsdorfbach and the bike path are also worth seeing. The bike path was built on a former ore railway line, which created the interesting hollow path through rocks.

Located right on the bike path. From here you can drive up to Katzwinkel to the glider airport.
