Frohburg Castle, Frohburg, Germany

Frohburg Castle was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style. Today’s castle is the result of centuries of work, mainly from the restoration made in the 16th century. Visitors get a real feel for the castle’s heyday when they step into the two allegorically decorated halls, admire the landscape fresco in the Stone Hall and explore the Picture Hall.

Kurt Feuerriegel founded the Workshop of Saxon Art Pottery in 1910 in Frohburg. The Frohburg Castle Museum features a captivating collection of Feuerriegel ceramics such as faience, terracotta sculptures and structural ceramics.

A visit is well worth it, art ceramics and historical toys are on display where you can discover some things that you once played with yourself. You learn a lot about the history of the owners and the building history of the castle, the function of the individual rooms, marvel at the beautiful paintings on the walls and find yourself in a historical classroom and can look at old fairy tale pictures. You can also get married in the castle, it has a nice atmosphere and also offers great photo opportunities in the adjacent park.

Not much to see, was there because of the Sandman exhibition, but I was pretty disappointed. The castle park, on the other hand, was well worth seeing and good for relaxation
