The two-winged Renaissance castle dates back to 1588. Further renovations were commissioned around 1670 by the canons Siegbert von Geilenkirchen and Thomas von Kandlberg. It is characterized by an arcaded walkway facing the courtyard. These arcades were enclosed by outbuildings until the renovation. The rooms on the upper floor also served as the official residence of the caretaker – and thus of the courts – for a long time. The Knights of Kast occupied the castle as a summer residence. The dilapidated castle was finally purchased by the municipality of Sierning in 1969 and renovated by the Traunviertel Cultural Association and the town of Sierning. An annex was added to the building, which houses the Sierning municipal office. Following the revitalization of the castle courtyard and the installation of state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a new castle café, it is now possible to host any event. The flagship events are the summer arts and crafts market with up to 10,000 visitors, the Sierning Advent with its Advent village in the castle courtyard, and the Guard Festival. Numerous cultural events and concerts take place throughout the year, both in the castle and in the covered courtyard.

Impressive, as early as 777 AD Sierning was mentioned for the first time in the "Document Book of the Land above the Enns". Bavarian Duke Tassilo handed over the area around Sierning to the Kremsmünster Monastery for administration. Emperor Otto II confirmed in 975 Bishop Pigrim II of Passau that he would take over the parish of Sierning.

The Kreuzberg in the municipality of Sierning has several special features: the Way of the Cross with 14 stations, an avenue of fruit trees and the occurrence of the common pasque flower (flowering period March to April) on the so-called pasque flower. The pasquefloor with the semi-dry lawn is maintained by the "Nature and Environmental Protection Association Sierninghofen-Neuzeug". It has been a natural monument since 1995. http://www.kuhschelle.at/geschichte.html There is also a beautiful view of the Lower Steyr Valley with the Sierningen district of Sierninghofen-Neuzeug and of the mountains. If you look very closely, you can also discover the Steyr.
