Schloss Fronberg stands in Schwandorf (Landkreis Schwandorf), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Fronberg stands in the Landkreis Schwandorf, in Bavaria, on a site first documented in 1305. Rebuilt after several fires and later altered during the Renaissance, the three-wing complex still shows Renaissance arcades in its inner courtyard, the most notable architectural feature to survive. The exterior facade and parts of the interior were restored in 2005, following a full renewal of the roof in 1992. The courtyard today hosts cultural events such as theatre performances, open-air cinema and a medieval festival.
