    The small ruin may look old, but it dates back to 1891. At that time, the community of Frankenstein built this small artificial ruin from the meager remains of the former castle as a destination for locals and tourists. From April to September, the ruin is open on weekends and public holidays and you can also climb up the tower. There, a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape awaits you.
    Translated by
    Frankenstein Castle was the ancestral castle of the important Franconian noble family of the Lords of Frankenstein, which descended from a side branch of the Counts of Henneberg and can be traced back to the middle of the 14th century in western Thuringia and the Rhön.
