Frauenstein Castle (German: Burg Frauenstein) is a ruined castle in the town of Wiesbaden-Frauenstein in Hesse Germany.It is not known who built Frauenstein Castle but based on dendrochronological evidence its construction has been dated to around 1184. Built on a quartzite outcropping of the Spitzen Stein the castle was not intended as a defensive fortress but rather as a watch-tower. It also served the tower guards as a dwelling.
