In 1049 a Count Goswin de Hohestat appears. In 1157, the castle, which was first mentioned at the time, came to the diocese of Bamberg, which renovated it under Bishop Ekbert of Meran (1208-1236). Further renovations and expansions are attested under Prince-Bishop Albert von Wertheim (1399-1421). In 1552 the city was set on fire by Margrave Albrecht Alcibiades during the Second Margrave War, but the castle survived the war unscathed. Shortly afterwards, in 1572-1574, Prince-Bishop Veit II expanded the castle into a castle-like structure, as did Prince-Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn between 1711 and 1713 after a fire in 1688. With secularization in 1803, Höchstadt became the seat of the Bavarian rent office and regional court. The dilapidated castle was first stabilized in 1894 and was secured again in 1963. Today, the city as owner (since 1963) and the Hohestete Castle Association take care of the preservation of the castle.
