Frankenberg Castle probably emerged from Vorderfrankenberg Castle, which was built in 1254 by the Burgrave of Nuremberg. At the beginning of the 18th century. The castle was converted into a baroque style palace.

A picture like from a fairy tale: 🏰 Frankenberg rises above the wide, gently rolling hilly landscape southwest of the Steigerwald. With medieval towers like an enchanted knight's castle, flanked by steep vineyards.
This gem of Franconian history would eke out a Sleeping Beauty existence for many years. Now, figuratively speaking, it is kissed awake: New splendor arises in old walls. The owner, Prof. Dr. Dr. Peter Löw, restored with great effort 🏰 Frankenberg including the associated winery with outstanding historical locations, in which an incredible potential lies dormant.
The wines of the first vintages after the reconstruction are now available to an exclusive group of connoisseurs. They are already showing that it was worth waking up the sleeping beauty on the Herrschaftsberg. These wines are the ideal companions that uniquely combine the near future of 🏰 Frankenberg in viticulture and sustainable agriculture with tradition and culture. The vineyards around 🏰 Frankenberg were recorded in official documents centuries ago. The Louisenberg, Hölle and Wolfsgrube sites are located on open slopes facing south and west and are mainly planted with Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Albert also with the extraordinary Blue Sylvaner. Here the vines collect many hours of sunshine for the best grapes.
