Freidrichshof Castle
Freidrichshof Castle, known now as Schlosshotel Kronberg (Castle hotel Kronberg) in Kronberg was built between 1889 and 1893 for the dowager German Empress Victoria and originally named Schloss Friedrichshof in honour of her late husband, Emperor Frederick III (Friedrich III). The principal architect was Ernst von Ihne. Empress Friedrich, who died of cancer in Friedrichshof on August 5, 1901, left her youngest daughter Princess Margarethe (1872-1954).
