Höchster Schloss, Medieval château in Höchst district, Frankfurt, Germany
The castle complex combines a Gothic tower and Renaissance palace on the banks of the Main River in Frankfurt's western district.
Built between 1586 and 1608, the château replaced an earlier customs fortification used by the Archbishop of Mainz to control river trade.
The castle grounds host the annual Höchster Schlossfest during summer, bringing together residents for celebrations of regional traditions.
Visitors can reach Höchster Schloss via public transport to Höchst station, with regular guided tours available throughout the week.
The castle structure incorporates additions from 1900 and 1980 while maintaining its original Gothic keep, moat, and medieval ring wall.
