The Falbenthal Castle is a former castle in the same place Falbenthal , a district of Treuchtlingen in the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . The building is registered under the monument number D-5-77-173-79 as a monument in the Bavarian monument list. The postal address is Falbenthal 1.

The originally three-storey side eaves building with four corner towers on the front was rebuilt in 1681, as the year above the entrance attests. In the 19th century, the two western corner towers were completely removed from the castle, which was five window axes wide, and the upper floors and the entire upper floor of the castle were removed from the eastern one. In 1708 Christoph Philipp Ludwig von Leubelfing received the margrave's permission to add a few houses to his estate and to settle farmers. In a document from 1732, for example, it is said that the castle has a brickworks (today Falbenthal agricultural property number 15) and eleven “Söldenhäuslein” that were pastured to Wettelsheim . In 1787 the knight man's fief in Falbenthal fell in the knight canton of Altmühl with the extinction of those of Leubelfing, the Brandenburg margrave. Thereupon the secret council and Oberhofmarschall Carl Wilhelm Friedrich Freiherr Eichler von Auritz received the property from the margrave as fief. In the present, the castle only fulfills a residential function.
