Burg Windeck stands in Bühl (Landkreis Rastatt), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Windeck Castle rises above the town of Bühl on a vineyard ridge at the edge of the Black Forest, in Baden-Württemberg. Founded around 1200 by the lords of Windeck, it still shows the remains of its medieval towers, around which a later building complex was arranged. The site now combines the fortified remnant with a hotel and restaurant use, so a visit is best thought of alongside a stop for a meal rather than a pure ruin tour.

A reservation is required for lunch or dinner.
