Water Castle Mespelbrunn

Water Castle Mespelbrunn

Hidden in an idyllic side valley of the Spessart lies the water castle Mespelbrunn – a fairytale destination for anyone seeking a combination of history, nature, and enjoyable driving on their convertible tour through Bavaria. Surrounded by dense forests and gentle hills, the castle offers a perfect opportunity for a relaxing break with historical flair on your convertible journey.

Renaissance Romance in the Green

The water castle Mespelbrunn was built in the 15th century as a knight's estate and later transformed into an elegant Renaissance castle. Its location in the middle of the forest, the surrounding moat, and the harmonious architecture make it one of the most photogenic and simultaneously calm castles in Bavaria. It became particularly well-known through the film "The Tavern in Spessart," which was partially shot here.

Today, the castle can be visited as part of guided tours. Visitors gain insights not only into the life of the noble family that still inhabits it today but also get a sense of how intertwined history and nature are in this place.

Relaxed Drive through the Spessart

The drive to the water castle Mespelbrunn is perfectly suited for an enjoyable ride in a convertible. The roads wind through the hilly Spessart Nature Park, past dense deciduous forests, small villages, and winding routes – ideal for a varied convertible route. Especially in spring and autumn, the region appears in full splendor of colors and enhances the journey to the destination.

As part of a convertible tour through Bavaria, the castle offers a welcome change between nature experiences and cultural enjoyment. A short detour to the nearby pilgrimage church of Hessenthal or a walk through the Spessart forests perfectly rounds off the stopover.

Stopover with Fairytale Flair

The water castle Mespelbrunn is a highlight of any convertible tour through Bavaria. Whether as a destination on a longer convertible route or as a romantic stop on your convertible road trip – this place offers the perfect combination of historical charm, relaxed atmosphere, and scenic beauty. Anyone planning a convertible tour in Bavaria should definitely include this hidden gem.
