This archway is reminiscent of the former castle in Schweinshaupten, which was demolished in 1972.

A palace or castle was first mentioned in 1303. The building served as a residence for the nobles of Schweinshaupten and from 1408 for the foxes of Schweinshaupten. The castle is said to have been destroyed in the peasant wars in 1525.

The inheriting and later Catholic family of the Foxes von Bimbach, based in Burgpreppach, ruled until 1848 and used the castle mainly as an administrative and residence for bailiffs and foresters. In 1972 the house had to be demolished due to dilapidation.
