Frankenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Frankenburg am Hausruck, Austria
The stone remains of Frankenburg Castle stand at 723 meters above sea level on Hofberg Hill, featuring visible moats and plateau structures.
The castle, first documented in 1160, served as a strategic fortification on the Bavarian border until its administrative functions ceased in 1511.
The castle grounds connect to the 1625 Lutheran peasant rebellion, commemorated through historical reenactments of the Frankenburg Dice Game every two years.
The castle site serves as a destination for hikers, with archaeological excavations revealing medieval pottery fragments and architectural elements for visitors to examine.
The castle's excavated artifacts include a brick slab containing preserved fingerprints of a medieval laborer and decorated oven tiles with period designs.
