Seckendorffer Schloss stands in Weidenbach (Landkreis Ansbach), in Bavaria, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Seckendorffer Schloss refers to the remains of a former fortified residence of the lords of Seckendorff, in Triesdorf, now part of Weidenbach. Originating from a moated castle first recorded in 1386, the property passed through several branches of the family before being sold to the margraves of Ansbach in 1600. Only the gatehouse survives today, a two-storey timber-framed building dated by dendrochronology to 1676-1677, the rest of the complex having been torn down at the end of the 18th century due to its poor condition.
