Frankenberg Castle

Frankenberg Castle is a medieval structure built from stone and brick located in the Frankenberger district of Aachen. The fortress retains original defensive walls and moat-related features, now situated within a park setting.

The castle was first documented in 1352 and served as a residence for different noble families over several centuries. In the 20th century, aircraft engineer Hugo Junkers used the site for his work.

The castle houses the Aachen History Museum, where visitors can see regional artifacts, coins, and frescoes that tell the story of local heritage. The collection displays craftsmanship and artistic expression from different periods.

The castle is located on Goffartstrasse and is accessible to visitors during the day. Those with questions about visiting can inquire by phone for more information.

The castle is now integrated with the adjacent Frankenberger Park, where summer theater performances take place regularly. Surrounding the grounds are notable Art Nouveau villas that embed the castle within a broader cultural landscape.
