Mespelbrunn Castle is a late-medieval, early-Renaissance moated castle built in a tributary valley in Mespelbrunn. In the Spessart forest, between Frankfurt and Würzburg, this charming castle has become one of the most popular castles in Germany. The charm is all around as the surrounding hills are covered in lush greenery and the castle rises out of a crystal clear lake. The castle has beautiful red sandstone and stained glass windows, and well-preserved 16th-century armors and pikes on display inside. The family of the Counts of Ingelheim own the castle and still live on-site. They’ve made sure it remains a priceless jewel in Spessart. Even though it’s only about an hour outside of Frankfurt, you’ll truly feel like you’re in a fairytale at Mespelbrunn Castle.
