      Friedrichshof Palace was built from 1889 to 1893/94 as a widow's seat in Kronberg im Taunus for the former German Empress Victoria in the neo-Gothic Tudor style.
      After the occupation of Kronberg on March 29, 1945, the castle was confiscated by the US Army and used initially as troop accommodation, later as an officers' club and temporarily as the residence of the US commander in chief in Europe, General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
      After necessary alterations and renovations made necessary by the US occupation, Schloss Friedrichshof was opened in 1954 as the "Schlosshotel Kronberg - Hotel Frankfurt". It is operated by Haus Hessen and is now one of the "Small Luxury Hotels of the World" [3] and is categorized as a 5-star hotel. Large parts of the original furniture and works of art from the collection of Empress Friedrich can still be found in the rooms of the hotel. Their extensive library has also largely been preserved
      There is an 18-hole golf course in parts of the castle park and in the adjacent area. Also worth seeing is the rose garden, which unfortunately was a bit neglected during my visit.

        The most beautiful view of the castle is from the south.
