Description

An evening in Frankfurt, Germany brought us to the Hochster Schloss (Castle), part of the Saint Justinus Church complex along the Main River. We happened during Christmas and a small tiny lit tree was in the castle courtyard. The white(looking more blue here) painted watchtower of the Höchster Schloß towers over the old town of Hochster. Originally built in the fourteenth century, work on the castle continued during the following centuries and at the end of the sixteenth century it was expanded with a new structure in Renaissance style, the Neue Schloß (new castle). In 1908 the dilapidated complex was acquired by the local industrial magnate Adolf von Brüning, who opened the castle’s park to the public. Since 2002, the complex is owned by the German Foundation for Monument Protection.

Proof of the city Hochst, dates from 790. In 1441 the church was turned into an ascetic church of the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony, which existed from 1419. St. Justin's was reestablished during the 1980s and today has a place with the ward of St. Josef in the Frankfurt region of Roman Catholic Diocese of Limburg.

Except for the lighting, we could have been back hundred's of years, so charming were the views in the evening. Several well regarded restaurants are on the grounds of the castle and church.
