Between the ruins of the castles Alt- and Neu-Windstein lie the remains of the former castle Mittel-Windstein. Of it, a rectangularly hollowed-out rock, meager remains of walls, steps, and a moat can still be found. This castle was probably built around the same time as the other two Windstein castles, i.e., in the 13th century. It is equally likely that this castle was also razed at the end of the 17th century by King Louis XIV.
