Höchster Schloss
Höchster Schloss in Frankfurt am Main is a remarkable ensemble of medieval and Renaissance architecture that reflects centuries of regional history. Situated in the historic district of Höchst along the Main River, the castle complex consists of the Altes Schloss (Old Castle), dating back to the 14th century, and the Neues Schloss (New Castle), built between 1586 and 1608 as a residence for the officials of the Archbishop of Mainz. The Old Castle preserves its Gothic tower and remnants of the former customs fortress, while the Renaissance wing adds elegance with its arcades and decorative façades. Over the centuries, the castle has served as a defensive stronghold, an administrative seat, and later as a cultural venue. Today, it is owned by the Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz and hosts exhibitions, concerts, and the annual Höchster Schlossfest, which fills the courtyards with music, theatre, and local traditions. Surrounded by the charming timber-framed houses of Höchst’s old town and the riverside promenade, Höchster Schloss is both a historical landmark and a vibrant cultural hub, offering visitors a glimpse into Frankfurt’s layered past.
