      The Eibach farm is located northeast of Lindlar and east of Scheel on the Eibachsiefen, a left tributary of the Scheelbach. 1352 Eibach was mentioned for the first time as eybach. For a long time there was a moated castle in Eibach, Burg Eibach, of which only a ruin remains.

        "The former moated castle in Frielingsdorf-Scheel was built in 1352. The multi-storey castle with its corner towers was destroyed in 1782 and was not rebuilt.

        The building that was formerly used as a gatehouse and the adjacent farm have been completely preserved. Not far from Eibach Castle are the ruins of Neuenberg Castle, which, like Eibach Castle, was part of the sphere of influence of the neighboring Gimborn Castle.
