The choir tower church, whose core dates back to the 15th century, has an octagonal church tower that was raised in 1718. The pointed roof bears colorful glazed tiles.

A stone pillar (NE corner) and three trees mark the four corners of the Roman fort, field paths mark the surrounding wall. The fort itself or ruins are not visible, as the area is still used for agriculture. The inscription on the stone pillar says - as far as I could decipher it - this: Here lay the Roman fort Iciniacum built at the beginning of the 2nd century AD destroyed by the Alemanni in the middle of the 3rd century

Windsfeld itself is a beautiful, well-kept place with many colorful flowers that welcome cyclists in a friendly manner. In 1963 it was even awarded gold for "most beautiful village in Bavaria".
