Schönarts Castle
The castle ruin Schönarts, also called Alte Burg, is the remnant of a spur castle on a terrain spur about 194 meters high, a good 300 meters west of the hamlet of Schönarts in the municipality of Eußenheim in the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart in Bavaria.
History+
The castle was built in 1268 by the Lords of Henneberg and named "Castrum Schonenhart". Even during construction, the then Bishop Iring von Reinstein of the Prince-Bishopric of Würzburg decreed a stop to construction and the demolition of the castle, as he saw it as a danger to the supremacy of the diocese in the Karlstadt region. There is no evidence for a renewed construction of the castle. The castle site still shows the remains of an outer wall, the foundations of the keep, and ramparts of the moats on the hillside.
