Like no other building, the castle is closely linked to the history of the town of the same name. In the remarkably well-preserved castle, visitors can admire architectural elements from various eras and immerse themselves in history: museum-schloss-frohburg.de. The castle is open to visitors year-round, Tuesday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Frohburg Castle formed the center of one of the largest manors in Saxony until 1945 and is one of its culturally and historically valuable monuments. Today's four-wing complex emerged from a medieval castle around 1200.
