Preserved buildings
Armstorf Castle

The often changing owners rebuilt the building several times. Since the Art Nouveau period , the castle has stood as a three-story, four-tower main building with two side wings, as it is today as an educational institution for the Franciscan Sisters.
Burgrain Castle
Burgrain Castle, built around 1200 in the late Romanesque style, was completed in the 15th century and 100 years later the facades were adapted to the Renaissance style. This is where the administration of the Burgrain estate had its seat and jurisdiction took place. The castle stands 40 m above the upper Isental. The large late baroque castle church was built at the beginning of the 18th century. Around 1900 a brewery was set up in a wing and thus redesigned accordingly.

Wasentegernbach Castle
Three kilometers west of Schwindegg, between the Isental and the ridge of the hill, there is what was left of the once stately one built by the Lords of Wasentegernbach and the one rebuilt by the provost of Berchtesgaden (1582), which was almost like a new building. Because during the secularization , the building (including ancillary buildings and chapel) was razed down to the one or two lower floors and heavily rebuilt in the period that followed. Today the castle is privately owned and holiday apartments are rented out.
Winhöring Castle (Frauenbühel)

Baron Veit II von Terinng-Jettenbach had it built between 1619 and 1622 after the previous small building had been demolished (1420). From 1728 to 1730 it was rebuilt and redesigned in the new style. The late Gothic castle chapel from 1420 is in the park.
