The Castle of Callenberg is situated on a mountain top amid the Callenberg Forest which has extensive walking routes passing through it.

The three-winged castle building is, as a whole, a significant example of Neogothic architecture in Bavaria.

Between 1831 and 1856/57 the Dukes Ernst I. and Ernst II. of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha carried out radical rebuilding of this defence fortress which reaches back into the 12th century. The architect laying the plans for rebuilding of the lower castle was Georg Konrad Rothbart.
