    Like no other building, the castle is closely linked to the history of the city of the same name. In the very well-preserved castle, you can admire building elements from very different eras and let the history work its magic on you: museum-schloss-frohburg.de. The castle is open to visitors all year round from 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.
