Friesenhausen Castle

To be privately owned

Friesenhausen Castle is a moated castle in the Friesenhausen district of the municipality of Aidhausen, Haßberge district, Lower Franconia.

The builder was Philipp Fuchs von Dornheim, provost of the cathedral chapter in Würzburg, who in 1563 had this Renaissance moated castle with an extensive park built against the spirit of the times. It features elaborately designed volute gables and a large gate system with lion sculptures and the family coat of arms of the Dalberg-Zobel family. A stone bridge in front of the castle is flanked by two tournament knights.
