The Postal Frohberg is an Outbound medieval hilltop castle on the Frohberg 2000 meters south-southwest of the Church of Frohnhof , a district of the market Hahnenbach in Amberg-Sulzbach in Bavaria .
The castle is one of the largest fortifications in northeast Bavaria.

The presumably Carolingian ramparts probably served to guard the upper Vilstal .

The rampart, covering an area of ​​around eight hectares, was divided in the west by three section ramparts and protected by a circular rampart measuring around 750 by 130 meters . Today the Burgstall only shows the remains of walls and moats . From 1270 the castle area was already used for agriculture.
