The Osterburg castle ruins in Haunoldstein are picturesquely situated on a triangular rock plateau above the Pielach Gorge. Its origins date back to the late 12th century. The first documented mentions mention the Counts of Peilstein as owners, including Count Friedrich V, who died in the castle in 1209. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the complex was expanded several times, particularly by Rudolf Turso von Tiernstein (1405). Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times, but fell into disrepair over time and is now a ruin.
