Burg Winzingen stands in Neustadt an der Weinstraße (Neustadt an der Weinstraße), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Winzingen stands in ruins on a spur of the Haardt hills above the Haardt district of Neustadt an der Weinstraße, in Rhineland-Palatinate. Founded in the 10th century, the castle went through several transformations before being largely destroyed by Hessian troops in 1696, during the War of the Palatine Succession. What survives today is a Romanesque ring wall, the ruined Nikolaus chapel, a barrel-vaulted cellar and remnants of a tower. Next to the ruin stands the Haardter Schloss, a villa built in the late 19th century by the von Clemm family on the same estate.

What to know

  • The site is an open ruin with no known opening hours or admission fees.

  • The monument is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Rhineland-Palatinate.
  • The neighbouring Haardter Schloss villa is a separate property and is not part of any visit to the ruin.
  • The site suits a brief stop rather than a guided tour.
