Visiting is unfortunately not possible. The castle is in private hands. Back then you could enter the area next to the castle and see it from every side. Next to the castle is a beautiful building of the palm house and Mayrhof and the stables surrounded by beautiful old trees.

The moated castle Aisterheim is of course wonderful to look at and an impressive witness of the Renaissance in Upper Austria. The special feature of this castle is that you can not really visit it and that it is not really a tourist destination. The castle is rented. Whether apartment or hall in the adjoining south wing - a special ambience is guaranteed to the tenants of this property in any case.
