History
Frondsberg Castle is located in the municipality of Rabendorf, in the modern country of Austria.The castle is situated within a north-south oriented valley at an elevation between approximately 593 and 603 meters above sea level. The surrounding terrain includes hills rising to nearly 951 meters roughly 1.7 kilometers to the northwest, set amid mixed forest.
The setting of the castle within a moderately populated region—about 75 inhabitants per square kilometer—and its proximity to the larger town of Weiz suggest the site may have occupied a role in overseeing local territory.
