Kronberg Castle

A charming medieval castle with a very authentic atmosphere. There isn’t much to see inside, but the view from the tower over Groß Feldberg and the town panorama is priceless. The facilities are very clean (especially the restrooms), and the historical descriptions are well done. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Getting there can be a bit tricky as the castle is not very well signposted in town, but once you arrive, it’s worth the effort. I wouldn’t say it’s a family attraction unless your kids are really into medieval history, but for history lovers it’s a gem.

The castle dates back to 1220 and features 120 steps up the tower for amazing photos. There’s a small museum inside and gallery upstairs, can take elevator. Guided tours are offered, but make sure it will be in English, we had guide explain in both German and English, because large part of people understood only English. Interesting fact I learned in tour: The military salute comes from medieval knights lifting their helmet visors with the right hand to show their faces and prove they were unarmed, evolving into the modern gesture of raising the hand to the head as a sign of respect.

Public parking about 7 minutes walk from the castle. It is worth the visit. Tickets must be purchased at the entrance either cash or credit. It costs 6 Euros per person. The garden area is beautiful and gives you a spectacular view of the city and far. They have guided tours and the last one is at 1500 hours and it is $3 Euros more at the entrance. If you missed the time or just do nit want the guided tour, you can easily do it yourself with the well-explained panfleto. I really recommend to visit this historic place.

Great viewpoint. Good place for a quick getaway destination from noisy city. Not like a Versailles, but I could feel the place is looked after & cared by people who works there. Loved it very much. *Watch out the opening hour if you are planning to visit.

Not that magnificent but surely beautiful, Kronberg castle. The Prince Garden turns out to be the most memorable spot of the entire castle. It has the view of the entire Kronberg town, and also the entire garden was well designed and maintained. Other than that, the castle itself was empty, not much of history elements was preserved.

We decided to go to the castle after spending some time in Frankfurt. I am so glad that we did. What a lovely town Kronberg is. The castle sits on the hill above the town. Has a great view of Frankfurt, but the grounds are beautiful and the castle is very interesting to view. Make sure you go to the tower!

Having walked through the village to visit this place is a pleasant cuz on the way there are many old and unique buildings. The castle is well conserved, you can choose to do the tour inside the castle with guide or just browsing through the castle.

It was very enjoyable to see this castle, and the view was awesome. The lady working in the welcome center was very friendly. The only recommendation would be that they have more English signs for visitors who don't read German.
