The castle was built around 1100 and demolished in the middle of the 13th century.

There isn't much left to see of the ruins, but it's a beautiful view.

Hohenburladingen Castle is the ruin of a spur castle on the 895.4 m above sea level high Hochwacht, about 500 meters north of the town of Burladingen in the Zollernalb district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle ruins are located north of the valley of the Fehla, which rises to the east, at the spur-like end of a plateau, which is bordered to the east by a small north-south V-shaped valley running to the Fehla. The so-called Kreuzfelsen is located on the castle grounds, and further east of it, on a rocky outcrop, is the approximately 34-meter-long Höllenstein Cave with finds from the time of the Celts.
