Schloss Frankenberg stands in Weigenheim (Landkreis Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Weigenheim, in the Landkreis Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim, Schloss Frankenberg stands on a hilltop in the southern Steigerwald, close to 500 metres above sea level, a seat first recorded in the thirteenth century. The property combines the main house with an outer bailey, a former bailiff's house and a dairy farm, set within some 130 hectares of forest, fields and vineyards. For generations it belonged to Franconian noble families, among them the von Hutten, and its vaulted cellars, once lined with cells and a torture chamber, recall the seigneurial court that sat here until 1783. The estate now operates as a hotel and event venue, which shapes how and when the site can be visited.
