Schloss Frohburg, Medieval castle museum in Frohburg, Germany
Schloss Frohburg is a four-wing castle museum set on a flat hill between a pond and the Wyhra River in Saxony. The buildings feature ochre-colored plaster walls and slate roofs, containing collections of art ceramics, historical toys, and neoclassical furnishings.
The castle grew from three stone buildings in the 12th century and took its current four-wing form around 1500. Successive changes shaped the complex over time until it became the museum it is today.
The castle displays art ceramics and shows how neoclassical interiors were furnished with faience and terracotta sculptures in past centuries. Visitors can observe how these objects shaped the rooms and what role handcrafted ceramics played in the home culture of the region.
The museum offers educational programs including a historical classroom experience set in 1900 and various activities throughout the castle and grounds. Take time to explore both the indoor rooms and the outdoor spaces to make the most of your visit.
Owner Ernst Blümner collected works from Dresden artists and organized exhibitions that turned the castle into a cultural meeting place. His collections still shape the museum today and show how private initiative can bring life to a historical building.
