The Postal Kühstein (also Kiastein called) refers to a Outbound hilltop castle in the Wappenau between Auerbach and the Kleine Mühl north of Meisingeröd in the municipality Sarleinsbach in Rohrbach District of Upper Austria .
The Burgstall is located on a mighty boulder, which drops steeply 20 meters to the north, but is easily accessible from the south on a steep path. The distinctive rock head of the Kühstein is secured mainly to the west by a double, almost semicircular (wall) ditch . On the rock plateau there are gradual indications of caulking. Medieval pottery finds were made. The facility is not a listed building.
