The Höhenburg is located in the Franconian Switzerland-Veldenstein Forest Nature Park on a rocky mountain spur at about 420 meters above the valley of the Ailsbach in the Franconian Switzerland, 6.5 kilometers northwest of Pottenstein. Within walking distance of the castle is the Sophienhöhle a tourist attractive stalactite cave.
The oldest parts of the castle were built in the first quarter of the 12th century as a residence in the Waischenfeld dominion.
