Burg Frauenstein, Medieval castle and archaeological site in Weiding, Germany.
The stone fortress rises on a hill with thick defensive walls, multiple towers, and fortified gates displaying medieval construction techniques.
The castle construction began in 1270 under Bavarian noble families who established it as a strategic military position overlooking the surrounding valleys.
The castle grounds host regional festivals throughout the year, featuring traditional Bavarian music performances, craft demonstrations, and local food specialties.
Guided tours operate from April through October, with visitors needing to reserve spots at least two days in advance through the local tourism office.
The archaeological excavations at the site have revealed numerous medieval artifacts, including weapons, tools, and household items from the 13th century.
