Château de Wineck

The Château de Wineck is a ruined castle in the Wineckerthal quarter of the commune of Dambach in the Bas-Rhin département of France.

It was without doubt intended as an observation post to complete the defensive system of the nearby Château de Schœneck.

Built on a rocky peak, all that remains of the castle are part of the dressed stone walls and the corners of the polygonal keep, serving originally to protect a modest home that has since disappeared.

The castle is reached through a gallery cut into the rock, with a door halfway up the cliff.

The lower courtyard, on the eastern side, is enclosed by a partly conserved enceinte.
