The Postal Hohenstein is a Outbound medieval Spur castle on a 690 m above sea level. NHN high mountain spur on the northern slope of the Schnappenberg ("Schlossberg") between Kehrergraben and Alplbach in the Staudach-Egerndach municipal area in the Traunstein district in Bavaria .
The castle was built in the middle of the 11th century by Count Marquart I von Hohenstein ( County Kraiburg ) and mentioned around 1180 with a "Karolus de Hohenstaine".
