The Heilbrunnen am Ohmbach is a supposed holy well in Windeck (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany).

The water from the well reaches the Ohmbach after a few metres.

According to a local legend, the noble daughter Mathilde took a rest at the well 800 years ago. She was on her way to Herchen monastery, because her father had blinded her. The water from the well cured her eyes.
More miracle healings have been reported since then.

The original stone frame of the well was built in medieval times and has been renewed in 2011.
