Description

The castle ruin of Schaunberg (also Schaumberg, Schaumburg and Schaunburg) lies in the village of Schaumberg in the municipality of Hartkirchen, district of Eferding in Upper Austria. It was the ancestral castle of the counts of Schaunberg and seat of the County of Schaunberg.

The present-day ruin of the hill castle was the largest castle complex in Upper Austria. The ruin can be visited; the bergfried has been made accessible by a newly installed staircase.
