The castle is privately owned by the Thurn-Valsassina family and is inhabited all year round. Unfortunately it can only be viewed from the outside.

Rastenberg Castle was built from 1193 onwards. The builder was probably Hugo von Rastenberg. The outbuilding from the 13th century, located to the east of the medieval castle, was expanded for residential purposes in the 16th century.

A baroque bastion building, today's forecastle, was added to the outside of this Renaissance wing in the 18th century.

Despite multiple renovations, Rastenberg Castle has well preserved its medieval character and is one of the most important Romanesque architectural monuments in Lower Austria.
