Flossenbürger Granit, Natural granite quarries in Flossenbürg, Germany.

The Flossenbürger Granite presents a spectrum of colors from warm yellow-gray to blue-gray, making it suitable for architectural and landscaping applications.

The extraction of Flossenbürger Granite began in 1769, becoming an essential part of the region's industrial development and architectural heritage.

The Flossenburg Castle, constructed from this granite, stands as a monument on the mountaintop, representing the material's significance in regional architecture.

This granite demonstrates high resistance to frost, weather conditions, and chemical influences, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor construction projects.

The granite formation occurred 310 million years ago as part of the North Upper Palatinate Pluton, crystallizing under high pressure at depths exceeding two kilometers.
