The Postal Slorburg is an Outbound Höhenburg ( hillside castle ) at 210 m above sea level. NN in the forest 915 meters northeast of the Scherenburg castle ruins on the same mountain slope above the town of Gemünden am Main in the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart in Bavaria .

It is unclear whether the castle was built by the Counts of Rieneck around 1170. Later the castle was probably owned by the Würzburg bishop Hermann I von Lobdeburg , who wanted to demonstrate his power here. In 1243 the castle was destroyed and razed during a feud with the Würzburg monastery .

The castle stable , which is now a ground monument , still shows some heavily mossy, larger rock foundations and little masonry.
