Legend of Irnharting Two damsels were riding out in 1329 and got lost in the woods west of Gunskirchen. They asked God for help and promised to build a small church. But soon they were found and saved. In gratitude, her father had a small church built and a magnificent castle next to it.

The Aistersheim moated castle is one of the most beautiful in Upper Austria. The entire castle stands on a myriad of wooden pilots and is completely surrounded by water. Two massive wooden bridges lead to the two large entrance gates. Although it was actually a defensive structure that has been besieged several times throughout history, the builders managed to create one of the finest examples of late Renaissance architecture. A visit or an inspection of this beautiful building is worthwhile!

Irnharting Castle is two kilometers west of Gunskirchen. The castle consisting of two parts was built in a large square pond on two islands in it. The front chateau with the tower was connected to the rear building by a bridge. The buildings on the front island were grouped around a courtyard that was open on one side, namely the one that faced the other island with its castle building. Located on the former front island, the complex is a three-wing structure. The tower, the base of which has been converted into a gate hall, stands almost in the middle of the front wing and is still the only entrance to the palace today, since the pond in the form of a wide, water-bearing ditch has been preserved here. A brick bridge spans the moat in front of the gate tower. The second castle complex, formerly also a horseshoe-shaped complex, was closed and covered by modifications and is now the actual inhabited castle. The drained pond floor is significantly lower than the level of the former islands and the adjacent corridors, but the grassy ground is continuous wet and even swampy in places.

Puchberg Castle was built in the 16th century and is surrounded by a beautiful park. Today it is a horseshoe-shaped complex, in the courtyard there is a fountain (from the 18th century) with a sandstone figure on it. On the entrance gate to the farm buildings there are stone figures of St. Mary and other saints from around 1740. Since 1953 the castle has belonged to the diocese of Linz, which set up a training center here.
