You should take a look inside the chapel, it's worth it.

In the grounds of Frankenstein Castle, the chapel, consecrated in 1474, is a wedding room for the community of Mühltal

Unfortunately, when weddings are planned, the chapel cannot be visited. A nice place to say yes.

Open throughout the year. There is a nice restaurant and a kiosk, but you have to ask about the opening times. The public toilet right next to the kiosk is probably open all year round. That's always good to know...

It is a gem and is part of every visit to Frankenstein Castle: the castle chapel. At the end of 2017, former Kerweborsch from Griesheim staged a spectacle there that made waves in the press. The Sisters of Mary from Eberstadt saw the dignity of the room violated and cleared away the altar cross and other sacred objects they had donated and said goodbye to the place. In May, the new altar cross was presented to the public for the first time with a celebration. The Frankenstein Castle Chapel has been a sacred building for 545 years, a place of particular dignity and at the same time a historical and artistic monument that needs to be protected and preserved.

A very beautiful chapel with a romantic setting. That's why it's also very desirable to say "I do".

Some of the tombs of the Knights of Frankenstein can be seen in the small chapel.

Climbing Frankenstein Castle via the Himmelsleiter will cost you a few drops of sweat, but the view from the castle is worth it. In addition, there is also a restaurant, so that nobody starves or dies of thirst

The registry office of Frankenstein Castle. After renovation and cleaning, it will probably be a beautiful location to say “I do”.
