The place Thuisbrunn is first mentioned in the founding document of the diocese of Bamberg in 1007. The castle lies at an altitude of 467 meters and is a ruin. Only the office building and the tower bear witness to the once mighty complex.

1348, the lords of Maienthal are occupied as a local noble family. The castle was destroyed in 1388 during the city war by the Nurembergers. Temporarily the place seems to have been in efloffsteinischem possession.

From the 15th century Thuisbrunn is under the sovereignty of the burgraves of Nuremberg, the later margraves of Brandenburg-Kulmbach and Brandenburg-Ansbach. Among them, the Reformation 1528 collection. Destruction of the place take place in the course of the two margrave wars and the 30-year war. From the former castle complex testify only the office building with the adjacent tower and a barn and older basement vaults.

The castle is privately owned and can not be visited.
