Story · Schloss Friedrichshof

You're standing at Schlosshotel Kronberg, in Kronberg im Taunus, just outside Frankfurt. It looks like a castle from a fairy tale, but it isn't all that old. It was built between 1889 and 1893 for Empress Victoria, the widow of German Emperor Frederick the Third. She named it Schloss Friedrichshof, after her late husband.
