Fronius is a German surname of Siebenbürger Sachse origin.[1] The Fronius family maintained an aristocratic status within the autonomous region of Siebenbürgen.

The Fronius Residence

The Fronius Residence[1] is a manor that was constructed for the Fronius family in 1609. Situated within the Schäßburg Citadel, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, the building was one of the few structures that remained unfelled by a fire that devastated Schäßburg in 1676.[2] The Fronius Residence currently operates as an upscale lodging facility.[3]
