Sie zählt zu den schönsten Burganlagen in Oberfranken und ist seit über 600 Jahren im Besitz der Familie von Künsberg.

Die Burg Wernstein wurde, wie sich aus dem Landbuch der Herrschaft Plassenberg von 1398 entnehmen lässt, zwischen 1362 und 1376 an Stelle einer zerstörten Vorgängeranlage errichtet. Als Heinrich von Künsberg zu Berneck am 12. Januar 1376 die in der Pfarrei Schwarzach gelegene Kapelle in Veitlahm als Pfarrei dotierte, traf er die Bestimmung, dass der dortige Geistliche wöchentlich ein oder zwei Messen „zu dem Wernstein“ lesen sollte. Sie befindet sich seither im ununterbrochenen Besitz der Familie von Künsberg.
