Tips
Altwinnenden Castle, also known as Burg Burg, is the ruin of a spur castle above the Höfen-Stöckenhof road in the Bürg district of the city of Winnenden.
In the first half of the 12th century the castle was built by the Lords of Winnenden and in 1181 the keep was built by Gottfried von Winnenden on the hilltop.
In 1210 the castle was mentioned as "castrum Winidum", and in 1212 and 1225 it was expanded. The gentlemen von Neuffen are also named as other owners. The castle fell into disrepair in the 15th century and was demolished from 1536 to 1538 except for the keep.translated by
