Burg Frauenstein, Medieval castle in Wiesbaden-Frauenstein, Germany
Positioned on a quartzite outcrop, Burg Frauenstein features high defensive walls, battlements, and a distinctive watchtower structure overlooking the surrounding landscape.
The construction of Burg Frauenstein began around 1180, with dendrochronological studies confirming its establishment during the late 12th century medieval period.
The castle's name, derived from Vrowenstein, first appeared in documents from 1221 when Heinrich Bodo von Vrowenstein was recorded as the lord.
Located at coordinates 50.0651 latitude and 8.15458 longitude, visitors can explore the castle ruins and examine its medieval architectural elements.
Excavations in 1943 revealed the castle's expansion phases, including the addition of a fore-castle and a pond structure beyond the main fortification.
