Ilmbach Castle

Private property

Ilmbach Castle is located in the hamlet of the same name, a district of Prichsenstadt in the Steigerwald forest.

Originally, a castle stood on this site, which was converted into a Carthusian monastery in 1453. The monastery fell into disrepair, and in its place, a hunting lodge was built in 1873 after secularization. Since then, it has served the Schönborn family as a hunting lodge and residence. The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation lists the small castle under monument number D-6-75-158-66. The underground remains of the previous buildings are listed as an archaeological monument.
