    Old Town - Plague Cemetery
    "Frauenstein was first mentioned in documents in 1218.


    Frauenstein Castle was built for national defense and border fortification, later it protected the Meißen-Freiberg-Teplitz-Prague trade route.

    The first farmers and later also miners settled in the valley of the Kuttelbach.

    From the viewpoint, boundary stone 53 is to the left of the path to the pasture. Between this and stone 57, the "Old Town" lay until the 15th century. It was granted town rights in 1411 by burgrave Heinrich von Meißen.

    "Frauenstein" was first mentioned in documents in 1218.

    Frauenstein Castle was built for national defense and border fortification; later, it protected the Meissen-Freiberg-Teplitz-Prague trade route.

    The first farmers, and later miners, settled in the valley of the Kuttelbach stream. From the vantage point, boundary stone 53 stands to the left of the path to the pasture. Between this and stone 57 lay the "Old Town."

    It was granted town charter in 1411 by Burgrave Henry of Meissen.
