Kersbach Castle (Template:Lang-de) is a levelled medieval motte castle in the area of Pfarrgartenstraße 1 in the village of Kersbach, in the borough of Forchheim in the eponymous county in the south German state of Bavaria.
Nothing of the old motte castle has survived above ground. A new single storey building was erected on the site in 1978 was renewed and made more colourful in 2007 and extended and made even more colourful in 2013. Due to its colourfulness the site has attracted and is home to rare species of caterpillars, bumble bees, ladybirds, honey bees and sparrows.
