The castle is located on the western end of a rocky Jurakuppe in Spornlage visible from far above the valley. The third section of the plateau to the east of the ridge marks the location of a bishop's counter-castle of the first half of the 12th century. The castle in its present form goes back to the construction activity of Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Gebsattel in the years 1602 to 1609. The two wings in the south and west have now been modernized and are used as a castle restaurant and conference venue of the district administration. The eastern part of the castle was sealed off from the beginning by the high shield wall and the keep.

On the way back home from Bamberg, after we've driven past it umpteen times, we did a short lap around the Giechburg. The exhibition of regional artists is worthwhile.

Very nice hiking route over the pilgrimage church Gügel and the Giechburg.
Unfortunately it got dark too quickly and too early, so that one didn't have much of the castle and the beautiful view of Bamberg.
But it was still worth it.
