The Graf-von-Schönborn'sche Schlossbibliothek (or Schönborn'sche Schlossbibliothek for short) at Weißenstein castle in Pommersfelden is a private collection of the Schönborn family. It goes back to the time Weißenstein castle was built by the counts of Schönborn who, as prince-bishops of Bamberg, had access to the cathedral library of Bamberg, the Michelsberg library, and other collections from which they lifted a number of codices.

Some of the books (manuscripts and early printed books) were given on loan to the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at Toronto University.
