Detail InformationEdit

The ruins of Aggstein are the remnants of a castle on the right bank of the Danube in Wachau whose origins go back to the 12th century.
The castle ruins are situated at about 300 meters (ca. 985 feet ) altitude above the right bank of the Danube on an outcropping that runs in an East-West direction. It is some 150 meters (ca. 460 feet) long and has a rock structure at both ends. The ruins are in the Municipality of Schönbühel-Aggsbach in the Melk District of Lower Austria.
The castle was probably built in the beginning of the 12th Century by Manegold III of Acchispach (Aggsbach). In 1181 it came into the possession of the Kuenringer family of Aggsbach-Gansbach. It was besieged and conquered in 1230/31 in the uprising led by Hadmar III and his vassals against Duke Friedrich II. In the disputes over the succession of Friedrich II, or „herrscherlosen Zeit“ (the “time without a ruler”), the Kuenringers switched sides a few times. Thus Leutold Kuenring out-maneuvered the Austrian nobility at their revolt against Duke Albrecht I: Subsequently, the castle was besieged and conquered in turn in 1295/96. The last Kuenringer, Leutold II, held the castle from 1348 to 1355. After that it fell into disrepair.
