It is open during the day. Worth seeing are the Baroque pulpit, organ, and tombstones of the von Rotenhan family. Built in 1600.

The castle was damaged in 1525 during the Peasants' War and devastated again in the Thirty Years' War. Johann Friedrich II von Rotenhan therefore decided to build a new building on the old foundations in 1750, which was finally completed in 1762. The rest of the old castle that was still habitable had already been demolished in 1757, after the central building and the north wing were ready for occupancy. A French garden was laid out around the castle and converted into an English landscape park around 1800 in keeping with the taste of the time. The two-storey round tower to the north of the castle is often thought to be a remnant of the old castle complex. The building, reminiscent of Nuremberg's city towers, was only added in 1880. The castle brewery, built in the 19th century in the north of the castle district, was largely demolished at the end of the 20th century. The castle, which has been extensively renovated in recent decades, still serves as the residence of the Barons of Rotenhan. Maximilian von Rotenhan, son of Sebastian Freiherr von Rotenhan, lives there with his family. The castle cannot be visited. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Rentweinsdorf

Rentweinsdorf has been owned by the Lords of Rotenhan, who have a wide range of branches in the Haßbergen, since the 14th century. The family's ancestral castle is located about five kilometers north of the Ebern district of Eyrichshof (Rotenhan Castle). According to Isolde Maierhöfer, the Rotenhan family can only be traced to Rentweinsdorf after the second Würzburg enfeoffment of Wolfram von Rotenhan on November 23, 1333. Shortly before this, the Bishopric of Würzburg had besieged the family's ancestral castle and then destroyed it. The family's original residence was probably a smaller, fortified castle estate on the outskirts of the town, which was continually expanded in the following centuries. The foundations and two-story cellars of the former moated castle are still preserved. Several branches of the family lived in this first castle, and their not always easy coexistence was regulated by a truce of 1530. A prominent family representative of this time was Sebastian von Rotenhan. Rentweinsdorf was therefore a typical Ganerbenburg with two castle houses, four round towers and kennels. The late medieval-early modern complex can only be roughly reconstructed from the surviving remains and some plan sketches by Johann David Steingruber (1750). Access was from the west via a drawbridge. The gate building was flanked by two small round towers. The castle chapel, which was demolished in 1605, was also located in the west wing. The moats were watered from the Hutsee. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Rentweinsdorf
