      "Over 800 years old castle ruin is the landmark of Windeck in the Siegtal."

      "The formerly imposing castle complex was first mentioned in documents as" Castrum novum in windeke "in 1174 and served as the border fortress of the Counts of Berg against the Counts of Sayn.A copy of this imperial certificate and finds from the Windeck Castle can be visited in the museum village Windeck .

        Windeck Castle is a hilltop castle from 1174, today only a ruin but very interesting. There are many signs to read up on the history, and from the castle you have a fabulous view of the surrounding communities.
