The Windecken district takes its name from Wonnecken Castle, which stands on a mountain spur above the farming town. The inner castle fortifications, as well as the eastern gate and the tower of the western gate of the outer bailey, have been preserved.

The old town, located in the Katzbach Valley and bordered to the north by the Nidder River, is of interest. Although the town was largely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, its medieval structure has been almost completely preserved. In addition to the castle, the town's parish church and the market square with the town hall and renovated half-timbered houses dominate the townscape.
