The builder of the castle in Heidesheim is Hardegen von Winternheim, who is mentioned in 1209 as the owner of this tower castle Windeck surrounded by moats. He illegally used a plot of land belonging to Eberbach Abbey to build his castle. The Archbishop of Mainz settled the dispute and forced Herdegen to cede a vineyard from his private property to the monastery as compensation.
It is not known whether Windeck Castle was involved in the battle of Archbishop Baldwin of Trier with the city of Mainz in 1329.
