The Suhlburg was a hilltop castle built at an elevation of 322 meters, on a spur above the Schmiedbach valley, near the hamlet that today bears its name, in the municipality of Untermünkheim. Constructed toward the end of the 14th century by a member of the patrician Sulmeister family of Schwäbisch Hall, it was completed in 1516 by Melchior Senft von Suhlburg before being destroyed by fire in 1534. After failed attempts at rebuilding, only remnants of foundations and ditches survive, on a site now occupied by a private house.
