Schloss Windegg stands in Reichenau (Landkreis Konstanz), in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
Schloss Windegg stands at the northwestern tip of the island of Reichenau, on the site of a 14th-century stronghold held by ministerials of the abbey. The present late Renaissance building dates mainly from a 1667 rebuilding, following an earlier remodeling in 1627. Inside are a former chapel with a groin vault now used as a dining hall, a former library room with a large tiled stove, and the so-called Pope's Room, where Pope Martin V is said to have briefly stayed in 1417 after his election at the Council of Constance. The property now belongs to EnBW and operates as a leisure and conference hotel.
