Burg Frauenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Bodman-Ludwigshafen, Germany
The stone remnants of Burg Frauenberg stand on a north-facing rocky spur, 650 meters southwest of the Bodman church, offering views of Überlinger See.
Built in the 13th century by the Lords of Bodman, the castle was destroyed by lightning in 1307, leading to the death of multiple noble family members.
The castle transformed into a religious site after 1308 when a chapel was built and donated to the Cistercian monastery of Salem.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through hiking trails from Bodman, with parking facilities available near the Bisonstube Bodenwald restaurant.
According to records, only one-year-old Johannes von Bodman survived the 1307 fire when his nurse threw him out of a window in a kettle.
