It lies on the Ramberg massif within the boundaries of Gernrode, a part of Quedlinburg, and about 3 kilometres northeast of Friedrichsbrunn.

The first hunting lodge on the Viktorshöhe had been built next to a small well house at the behest of Prince Victor Frederick in 1750.

[5] In 1946 the Anhalt governor, Heinrich Deist senior, stayed at the Viktorshöhe Guest House.

In 1990 the guest house was closed..[3] The buildings on the Viktorshöhe became empty during the 1990s and are gradually falling into ruin.

The remaining furniture lies scattered about the area and gives an impression of destruction and neglect, reminiscent of war.
