Burg Dietzhof stands in Leutenbach (Landkreis Forchheim), in Bavaria, Germany. Recorded dating: 15th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Dietzhof Castle, in Leutenbach, Bavaria, survives today only through a few remains built into a village barn. This former moated stronghold, recorded in the 15th century as belonging to the lords von Stiebar, no longer stands as a separate structure. Two barrel-vaulted rooms are preserved within the present farm building, along with traces of loopholes and a surrounding ditch.
