Winterburg Castle from the late 13th century. The castle of the Sponheim family survived a feud with Archbishop Baldwin of Trier and the Thirty Years' War, but not the wars of conquest by Louis XIV against the Palatinate in 1689, but considerable remains remained. In 1839 the mighty tower fell into the valley and damaged the school building, so the ruins were demolished to be safe. Today there are only a few remains of the wall and the office building that was built later has been a school hostel since 1959.

The town of Winterburg squeezes into the narrow valley of the Ellerbach and also leads into the valley of the Gebrother Bach and is so narrow that next to the stream and the road there is hardly any space for the houses. The church steps end in the middle of the street, which is only possible because it is actually a bridge over the stream.

A school hostel is housed here.

Our school camp is in the Hunsrück, on the southern edge of the Soonwald. School classes, kindergartens, church groups and sports clubs will find accommodation here for successful, varied school trips and youth camps.
