Spilberg Castle was once an important moated castle and was originally located on an island in the Danube, which belonged to the municipality of Enns. The castle has always been an important place of refuge and defense throughout its history. The flood of 1796 and the regulation of the Danube in the 19th century changed the course of the river to such an extent that the ruins are now in the floodplain, the Schlossau, near the northern bank of the Danube. In 1997 the area with the northern surrounding area was separated from the municipality of Enns and incorporated into the municipality of Langenstein, Perg district, Upper Austria.

The original name Spilberg later became Spielberg due to the changed spelling. Today the ruin proudly bears its old name again

SPILBERG

but is still referred to differently in many publications.
