Peilstein Castle

To be privately owned

Peilstein Castle is located in the municipality of the same name in the Rohrbach district of Upper Austria (Stifterstrasse 12).

The building, located at the exit of Peilstein, stands out due to its size and furnishings. Defensive structures are and were not present. This is due to the fact that the building was erected in 1754 as the seat of the administrator (but never used as such). Peilstein itself belonged to the dominion of the Tannbergs. It is listed in the Marsbach dominion's land register of 1667, which leads to the assumption that Peilstein came into the possession of the Prince-Bishopric of Passau after the death of Chunradt von Tannberg in 1354.
