Frohburg Castle
Ceramics, Art and
Childhood Dreams
Picture hall with coffered rosette ceiling
ack in 1910, when Kurt Feuerriegel established the »Workshop of
B Saxon Art Pottery« in Frohburg, the pottery craft, which had been
rooted in Central Saxony for centuries, was given new impetus. Frohburg
became the center of sophisticated ceramics production. Faiences, terracotta
sculptures, building ceramics – the precious collection of Feuerriegel’s
ceramics in Frohburg Castle Museum will captivate visitors to the castle.
Children are certain to be delighted in the second exhibition area: Dolls
and dollhouses, lovingly fitted mini-kitchens, merchants’ stores and other
attractions from the childhood days of grandparents and great-grandparents
awaken even grown-ups’ enthusiasm for play.
Frohburg Castle
Frohburg Castle itself also enchants its guests: The four-wing complex was
built around 1200 as a Romanesque castle. Over the centuries, the present
castle building as it is today came into being. Inside, two halls with allegorical
decorations, the Stone Hall with a monumental landscape fresco and the
Picture Hall recall the heyday of the castle at the beginning of the 19th century.
