Schloss Aub, Medieval château in Bavaria, Germany.

Schloss Aub occupies the highest, southwestern corner of Aub's old town and is built into the town walls. Its oldest visible parts are the Burghaus and the bergfried from the later castle of the Truchseß von Baldersheim; the 13th-century Hohenlohe masonry survives only in the filled moat on the north side. A griffin carrying the arms of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau serves as the weather vane on the bergfried.

Romanesque parts of the Hohenlohe castle, reaching down to the moat on the north side, survive from the 13th century but are not visible from outside. The 'Veste in Awe' is first documented in a 1369 pledge by Gerlach von Hohenlohe to the Rothenburg citizens Holtschuher and Goltsmit. The oldest visible remains, a Burghaus and Bergfried, go back to the Truchseß von Baldersheim; after the Hohenlohe died out around 1390 the castle was a Ganerbenburg shared by Weinsberg, Truchseß and Rosenberg, passing piece by piece to the Hochstift Würzburg by 1632. Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn rebuilt it in Late Renaissance style as an administrative seat and hunting lodge.

Schloss Aub was a Ganerbenburg, a castle held jointly by several families: after the Hohenlohe line died out around 1390, half belonged to the Weinsbergs, a quarter to the Truchsess and a quarter to the Rosenbergs. The castle gave its name to the Truchsessviertel, the quarter between the upper market row and today's Johannes-Böhm-Straße. In the castle and hospital cellars lay the tithe wine that Gollach valley vintners had to deliver.

Schloss Aub occupies the highest, southwesternmost corner of Aub's old town and is integrated into the town wall, so it is reached on foot through the historic centre. The ring of walls with its towers shapes the routes around the site; visitors should expect slopes and cobbles on the approach.

On the tower's weather vane sits a griffin bearing the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau. The same arms appear above the entrance of house no. 16 on Mühlstraße, at the foot of the Mangsteige.
