The castle was founded by the Thierlinger family, who also gave it its name. They were originally ministeriales (unfree knights) of the Margraves of Cham. With the death of the Counts of Bogen in 1242, the Thierlingers became part of Bavaria.
Thierlstein Castle, then known as Lichtenstein, was not built until around 1360. The name refers to the light-colored quartz rock on which the castle stands; it belongs to the Pfahl, a 150-kilometer-long quartz vein that also outcrops in Weißenstein.
