The remains of Winsberg Castle lie on a slope spur of the Öxlau to the Danube and within sight of Neuhaus Castle. The Burgstall can only be reached by experienced people.
The moat is drawn in a semicircle from slope side to slope side. The slope towards the Danube is littered with the ruins of the castle (hewn cuboids). The cause of the deterioration is unknown. Ceramic finds were made and the complex is a listed building .
