Unfortunately, you cannot visit the castle. A pity

Unfortunately, there are no parking options if you come by car. It also appears that the castle is on private property. The access road is blocked with a fence.

From the once mighty hilltop castle of Kienburg, which is enthroned on steep cliffs, today only parts of the building and walls that are in danger of collapsing have survived. The castle was first mentioned in 1184. In 1579 there was a devastating fire that destroyed practically all wooden buildings. After that, only the stone residential tower was provisionally repaired. Around the year 1660, the damage to the buildings and walls was already so great that the Kienburg was left to further decay. In 1769 parts had already collapsed. The ruins, which are impressive despite their morbid structural condition, can already be seen from the street and you can walk around the castle rock to get a better impression of this former fortification. However, due to the acute danger of collapse, a closer inspection of the facility is strongly discouraged.
