The Aggstein castle ruins are the ruins of a spur castle on the right bank of the Danube in the Wachau, whose origins go back to the 12th century. The castle ruin is about 300 meters above the right bank of the Danube on a rock spur that runs in an east-west direction. It is about 150 meters long and has a rock structure at both ends. The ruin is located in the municipality of Schönbühel-Aggsbach in the Melk district of Lower Austria.
