The castle / fortress was built sometime in or around the early 11th century. It originally belonged to the ministers of the German island Reichenau and the ownership of it has changed several time over the last 900 years. Eventually the castle was given to the City of Winterthur Departement of Culture and Art. It is currently decaying rapidly and one *cannot* go inside the castle.

Two castles called "Salenstein" originally stood nearby: the Ober-Salenstein Castle described here, and, on a spur of the same rocky ridge further down, the Nieder-Salenstein Castle, which was destroyed in 1599 (indicated in David Herrliberger's engraving as a wall tooth behind a tree) and is now completely ruined on the surface (near a farmhouse in the Hinderburg area). In roughly the same line, on the other side of the ravine, is the Mannenbach Chapel, which still exists today and is also depicted in Herrliberger's drawing. It is said to have been founded by the Lords of Salenstein in 1155, and contains medieval frescoes.
