A very nice photo opportunity

Interesting castle. In the immediate vicinity is also a butcher's shop/inn and the Bruunen for resting.

There are 2 museums and a very well preserved castle complex. There is a lot for children to discover.

Just a great castle, from time to time there are also nice markets right inside the castle!

The namesake of the castle and the village of Frauenberg is one of the most colorful female figures of the Middle Ages and proof that women have always played a decisive role in shaping our country's history. Loretta came from the Salm family of counts, wealthy in the Vosges Mountains near Strasbourg, which also maintains dynastic connections in the Luxembourg and Hunsrück regions to this day. In early 1315, not yet 20 years old, she married the much older Count Henry II of Sponheim Starkenburg. Henry died in 1323, and Loretta moved with her three sons to Starkenburg Castle near Trarbach. Loretta was now responsible for managing the county's affairs as guardian of her son, John III, who was probably only eight years old. This castle protruded like a thorn into the Electorate of Trier and threatened to endanger the possessions along the Moselle and around Koblenz. Archbishop Baldwin ruled in Trier. As an elector and brother of an emperor, he was one of the most powerful men in the empire and now considered the time had come to expand his holdings by occupying Sponheim's estates against a supposedly weak woman.
