Frankenstein Castle

To be privately owned

First mentioned in a document in 1193, the castle was the predecessor of today's palace. In the 14th century, Frankenstein belonged to the dominion of Rheinegg. In 1368, it is mentioned as a court. It is presumed that it belonged to the Schenken von Osterwitz at that time, as they also owned Rheinegg as a ducal fief.
