The use of the term castle isn't correct if the German name for the place is Burg Frankenstein. The German word for castle is schloss. The word burg is a fortress. Thus the English name should be changed to Fortress Frankenstein.

No, surely not, Fortress is "Festung" in German, never "Burg". Castle is the correct translation for "Burg". Although "Schloss" is often translated with "castle" either, a proper translation would be "palace". 79.216.211.191 (talk) 09:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
