Vildštejn Castle stands on rather small granite spur enclosed by the winding Sázek Brook in the south-western outskirts of the small town of Skalná, approximately 10 kilometres north of the district town of Cheb. The two-section castle is divided by a moat beyond which the former outer ward was situated. The grounds are partly built-up by a dilapidated chateau and a smaller building inhabited to this day. Behind the outer ward, the granite spur is intersected by another moat separating the bailey of the castle, which is formed by a compact three-storey structure. The castle acquired its present-day appearance in the course of reconstructions carried out in the 15th and 16th century.
