The keep has been preserved and can be climbed. The upper (narrow) section is a bit dark, but the climb is worth it!

The customs tower was built around the year 1000 as a pass barrier on the road between Mainz and Bad Kreuznach! The name goes back to a legend of Saint Ursula of Cologne! On her way back from a pilgrimage to Rome, she crossed the Selz here with her entourage of 11,000 virgins. In the hope that another 11,000 virgins would follow the same path, the Schnorressänger from Elsheim took over the sponsorship in 2006.

Windeck Castle is a small castle complex from the 13th century in the style of a tower castle with Gothic residential buildings. Windeck Castle seems to have originally been a moated castle with a ring moat (moat) and at least one ring wall. The castle cannot be visited, renovation work has been completed for the most part. When the municipality of Heidesheim acquired Windeck Castle in 1993, it was in a state of ruin. Since then, the community has made great efforts to restore the building to a respectable condition: first they renewed the elaborate roof structure and roof, then the front door and windows. She replastered the building, painted it in the Mainz red of the late Middle Ages and had the tower painted in a natural color. Finally, she installed a staircase in the tower that leads safely to the former roof plateau with its impressive view. In its efforts to protect the Windeck, the community is tirelessly and enthusiastically supported by the association Heimatmuseum Burg Windeck e.V. The care of the still considerable property is taken care of by volunteers.

From here, you have a magnificent view in both directions, into the Selz Valley and to the north as far as the Rhine and the Rheingau. The current building complex dates from the late 18th to the 20th century. Henn suggests that a Roman estate, a villa rustica, may well have stood on this site, even though no archaeological traces of it have yet been found.

The vineyards consist of ancient shell limestone rocks and the wine cellar of the winery is carved into the mountain, which looks like a stalactite cave, but is ideal for the wine. The castle is on the Hiwweltour Westerberg. https://www.komoot.de/tour/435296837/annotate/highlights

The tower was open but unlit. The motion detectors did not respond. Thanks to a flashlight and smartphone, we didn't fall down the stairs. Jackdaws nest in the tower and one looked in anxiously from outside as we walked past the nest inside. Hopefully she calmed down when she found her nest undisturbed.
