Schloss Frankenstein, Cultural heritage monument in Ockstadt, Germany.
The fortification features a central round tower and extends over 140 by 80 meters, divided into a larger central fort and smaller outer fort.
The castle's construction began in 1490 under Gottfried von Cleen, who pledged it to King Maximilian before it passed to the Frankenstein family through marriage in 1521.
The castle represents military architecture from 1500, incorporating design elements similar to works by landgraves' architect Hans Jakob von Ettlingen.
The castle maintains a stone bridge with baroque sculptures that connects the outer fort to the inner court, allowing visitors to explore different sections.
Three sides of the fortification contained moats fed by a stream from the south, while the northern section's water defense remains unconfirmed.
