It is located on top of a natural monument and rocky kuppe, the Wichsenstein Rock , at a height of about 587 m above sea level on the northern edge of the village of Wichsenstein, about 20 metres above the village and about 60 metres north-northwest of the Roman Catholic parish church of Saint Erhard. and about 15 kilometres northeast of Forchheim.
