The castle was named after the Lords of Winkel; Vollradus is a first name. In 1218 a “Vollradus in Winkela” (so-called “Ritter Vollradus”), 1268 a “Conradus dictus Vollradus armed” is mentioned in the sources. Nothing can be seen of the original structure from this time.

The core of today's castle is a massive residential tower built as a moated castle, which is surrounded by a square pond and can only be reached via a bridge. It goes back to the first third of the 14th century and the von Greiffenclau family, who were heirs to the von Winkel lords. The octagonal stair tower flanking the donjon was added in 1471; the bay window is an ingredient from 1620. The Greiffenclau family coat of arms is emblazoned above the entrance to the residential tower.
