Weiberhof Castle, which is located in the Sailauf district of Weiberhof and today houses the "Kurfürstliche Schlosshotel Weyberhöfe", dates back to the first of four hunting lodges that were built in the Spessart by the electors of Mainz. It is located at the starting and finishing point of several historical Spessart crossings, namely on the Lohrer Straße or Mainzer Straße, which was also called the Kurfürstenweg and reached the Spessart heights via Steiger, on the Römerweg over the Untersailaufer Höhe and the Engländer in the direction of Orb and on the route via Keilberg, the Posthalterkreuz and Rohrbrunn to Esselbach and Lengfurt.

Werner von Eppstein built this hunting lodge "castrum vivarum" in 1265, where he died in 1284. It was probably a stone tower with outbuildings and a zoo, as the name vivarum suggests. It was destroyed in the Margraviate War of 1552 and the hunting lodge was rebuilt in 1557 under Elector Daniel Brendel of Homburg.

Over the centuries, the “vivarum” became “vivar”, “wiber”, “weiber” and later also “weyber”. In 1681, Michael Sickenberger from Großkrotzenburg settled in the Weyber estate as a tenant and later farmer. He ran a sheep farm there and became “hereditary owner of the Weiberhof”; his sons and their descendants also held this office until the 19th century. On Paul Pfinzing’s Spessart map from 1562/1594, Weiber is shown with a house.

Coats of arms carved in stone remind us that the property was the seat of the Centgraf of the “Cent vorm Spessart”.
