Sulzheim Castle originated as a castle-like estate owned by the Würzburg court chapter. In 1134, Sulzheim, along with eleven other villages, was gifted to the newly founded Ebrach Abbey. Under Abbot Wilhelm Sölner, it was decided to demolish the dilapidated estate. Around 1700, the first master builder, Johann Dientzenhofer, built the tithe granary. In 1728, Sulzheim Castle was completed as a three-winged complex with a central pavilion. The highly eminent master builder Balthasar Neumann and Joseph Greissing were most likely involved in the twelve-year construction period. In 1802, with the secularization of Bavaria, the castle became the property of the Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1815, it, along with the Sulzheim district and 21 surrounding villages, passed to the House of Thurn and Taxis as compensation for the post office in the Grand Duchy of Würzburg and the Principality of Aschaffenburg. It remained there for approximately 160 years, undergoing a very varied history and use during this time, including as a forestry office. In the 1970s, the Princely House sold the castle. Since then, it has been privately owned and available for events.
