The Haunritz Castle is a listed building in the Haunritz district of the Upper Palatinate community of Weigendorf in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria and is located in the Högenbach valley.

In the 14th century, Haunritz was an iron hammer. A paper mill has been set up in Haunritz since 1699. In the 18th century, the hammer was rebuilt into an ironworks. In 1719 today's castle is built. There was a palace chapel until 1860. The castle was renovated in 1986.

The former noble seat is a tower-like three-storey building with a hipped roof in the middle of a facility originally built in the shape of a horseshoe (year 1719). A round half-tower with a half-timbered gable is attached to the eastern wing. This wing consists of two-storey, plastered solid structures with gable roofs and doorways. The building is essentially medieval, parts of the east wing date from around 1610 due to dendrochronological investigations.
