Reichenstein Castle can be considered an early settlement center in the Schönsee area. It was probably built in the late 11th century. Apart from a few remnants of the walls, only the stump of the round keep remains. However, the Reichenstein ruins are still shrouded in mystery. Legends tell of white women haunting the castle, and a treasure of gold lies beneath the ruins.

Frauenstein Castle Ruins The village of Weiding belonged to the Frauenstein lordship in hereditary servitude, about whose beginnings nothing is known. In the second half of the 13th century, Duke Heinrich of Lower Bavaria bought Frauenstein from Fredrich the Siegenhofer. This source states that the area around the village of Weiding, which had a brick church, was largely deserted. In the 14th century, the Frauenstein lordship and thus Weiding became a fief of the King of Bohemia. The Satzenhofers, Zengers, Fuchs and the Lords of Murach followed as further owners. In 1512, Hans von Selbitz (knight, friend of Götz von Berlichingen) appears as the owner of Frauenstein Castle. On January 29, 1580, Emperor Rudolf II enfeoffed Andreas Georg von Murach auf Kürnberg und Winklarn and his wife Anna, daughter of the late Hans Fuchs zum Schneeberg, with the two desolate castles Frauenstein and Reichenstein, today preserved as the Reichenstein castle ruins, the small town of Schönsee and the villages of Weiding and others. On November 26, 1605, Hans Friedrich Fuchs received an imperial letter of fief. His hereditary possessions included the castles Frauenstein and Reichenstein, the town of Schönsee, Weiding, Pondorf, Gaisthal, Schönau, Stadlern and Schwand with the iron hammer. Today, unfortunately, only a few remains of the walls in a romantic location remain. Only the tip of an entrance arch protrudes from the overgrown piles of rubble. A little higher up, further east, a wall remains that is about to collapse rises from the collapsed material. Large piles of bricks lie everywhere. The whole thing impressively shows the decay of a castle and looks a bit like a sunken fairytale castle. Source: www.wikipedia.de

Worthwhile old town with many sights. Beautiful city park for strolling and relaxing.

Frauenstein, one of the five mysterious vanishing points of the early Middle Ages - next to Hirštejn (Czech Republic, between Závist (Neid) and Nemanice (Wassersuppen)), Reichenstein (between Stadlern and Ebene or Böhmerwaldturm, Drachenturm (Treffelstein) and Thanstein. You have to experience them all with all their secrets in order to get to the bottom of the secrets of the “Schwarzachtaler holiday region 🤣).

Beautiful old town

Beautiful rock formation and a great view, a trip to the Burgstall is worth it.

The tower is finished and no longer scaffolded. But honestly... you can see more and get nicer pictures from below! The tower has no entrance and cannot be visited from the inside. You can save yourself the altitude 😉

Wonderful old town with many interesting sights
