Turmhügel Winkl stands in Grabenstätt (Landkreis Traunstein), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Turmhügel Winkl marks the site of a former motte, a medieval water castle built on an artificial mound, at the northwestern edge of the hamlet of Winkl near Grabenstätt. Only the earthen mound and its surrounding moat remain, flanked on three sides by a second outer ditch. No standing structures survive on the site, which lies just north of the later Schloss Winkl. It is essentially an archaeological earthwork rather than a visible building.

What to know

No standing structures remain here; only the mound and the moats are visible in the landscape.
The site sits outdoors in open fields at the northwestern edge of Winkl, best seen from a nearby path.
There are no opening hours or admission fees, as this is an open rural site without any visitor facilities.
The nearby Schloss Winkl, a later building, is a separate structure and not part of this earthwork.
Expect a short visit, since the site consists only of an earthen mound to look at.
