Burg Frauenburg, Medieval castle in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The castle features two remaining towers with walls measuring 2.5 meters in thickness, standing along the Nahe River crossing point.
Built in the 13th century by the Sponheimer family, the castle served as residence for Countess Loretta until French soldiers captured it in 1673.
The restoration project from 2013 to 2015 included specific modifications to accommodate bat populations while preserving the medieval architecture.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the L176 road from Baumholder to Reichenbach, turning right after the bridge toward Frauenberg.
The Dream Loop Gräfin Loretta hiking trail connects to the castle, offering a 12.5-kilometer circuit through the surrounding landscape.
