Wiesentfels Castle is a rock castle above the Wiesentfels district. Although the castle is privately owned, it can be visited. A board at the gate provides information about the castle tours.
From 1333 to 1938 the castle was owned by the Counts of Giech. Knight Albert von Giech received the castle as a fief in 1333 from the Bishopric of Bamberg. In 1412, two-thirds of the castle was given to Heinz von Schaumberg as Unterwiesentfels, and in 1415 a third of the castle was given to Hans II von Giech as Oberwiesentfels.
It was here at Wiesentfels Castle that the 2017 film "Famous Five - In the Valley of the Dinosaurs" was filmed. The Adventures of Julian, "Dick" (Richard), "George" (Georgina), Anne and Timmy the Dog are detective stories by Enid Blyton. She wrote 21 volumes about the experiences of the five friends.
