The castle ruins of Schönarts, also known as the Old Castle, are the remains of a spur castle on an approximately 194 meter high spur of land a good 300 meters west of the hamlet of Schönarts in the municipality of Eußenheim in the Lower Franconian district of Main-Spessart in Bavaria.

The castle was built in 1268 by the Lords of Henneberg and called "Castrum Schonenhart". During construction, the then bishop Iring von Reinstein of the Bishopric of Würzburg issued a decree halting construction and demolishing the castle, as he saw it as a threat to the dominance of the diocese in the Karlstadt region. There is no evidence that the castle was rebuilt.

The castle site still shows the remains of an outer wall, the foundations of the keep and the ramparts of the moat on the slope side.
