The hamlet “Winkelhof” is surrounded by forest between meadows and fish ponds in a valley floor of the Steinachbach, west of Buch.
The group of buildings consists of four farms, with the forester's house and the front half-timbered building shaping the appearance of the hamlet.
The forester's house, a former water and forest castle, was built by the Lords of Thüngfeld. This house stands on a kind of island and is surrounded by a pond except for the driveway. In 1421 the entire hamlet, including the agricultural land, became the property of the Ebrach monastery. Two former forest workers' houses, including the half-timbered building mentioned, have been owned by the Benedictine Münsterschwarzach Abbey for around 20 years.
The place name "Winkelhof" was derived from the original medieval farming settlement "Winkele", which existed south of the hamlet and which was dissolved in the Middle Ages.

Very secluded homestead at the end of a cul-de-sac.
