Foensburg Castle dates from the 13th century. After being demolished, the lords of Fleckenstein rebuilt it in the 15th century. This fortified castle is a so-called semi-troglodyte construction, and rests on two independent rocks, connected by a footbridge.

Froensburg Castle is built high above the valley, on two rocks more than 40 meters high. There are still rock cellars and remains of walls in the lower part, the upper part on the castle rock is well accessible via ladder stairs on the steep sandstone walls. In the upper part of the castle there is a well-preserved rock room. The castle offers a good view of the wooded valley of the Steinbach and the opposite slopes.

Very nice castle, but the wooden ladder is quite rotten and the handrail also wobbles. The ladder is only cordoned off with a red and white ribbon, without explanation.
