The Burgstall Unterlaimbach , also called Schloss Unterlaimbach , is an abandoned early medieval low castle in Unterlaimbach , a current district of Scheinfeld in the Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district in Bavaria .

After the Oberlaimbach castle was in very bad condition and a distinction between the Ortadel upper - and Unterlaimbach was necessary, the castle was begun in Unterlaimbach Unterlaimbach from 1357 with the establishment. From 1186–89, the local nobility with Hermannus de Leimbach is documented for the first time as a witness to a document from the Bishop of Bamberg.

When the owner of Castle Wolf Christoph von Seckendorff fell into imperial ban, his property came to his feudal lords , the Schwarzenberg princes , who in 1666 sold the dilapidated castle to Georg Ruhl, then the princely Schwarzenberg mayor in Grappertshofen .

The castle was demolished in 1782. Nothing has been preserved from the former castle complex.
