Romanesque Palatium (Red Castle) Seligenstadt

Unfortunately, only the wall on the mains side remained of the system

A palace built by Frederick Barbarossa
On the occasion of a court day in 1188 in the "Romanesque House", Frederick I Barbarossa had the Seligenstadt Palatium built on the high bank of the Main in Seligenstadt around 1187.
Further information on the information board.

On the banks of the Main, along the historic city wall, are the remains of the “Palatium”, the Hohenstaufen imperial palace, which was built in 1187/88 as a hunting or residential palace. After the decline of the Staufer, the so-called “Red Castle” served the citizens as a quarry. Only the eastern long side of the building remained thanks to its inclusion in the city wall.
