About this property

Former moated castle with moat in 1276, large garden

The apartment is 7 km south of the exhibition center, and 12.5 km to the city center. With our good transport connections, you will be offered an optimal mix of quietness at night and proximity to the sights (5-minute walk to the bus stop). On 70 sqm you have an oasis of wellbeing in which up to 4 people can leave everyday life behind. After a long day with countless impressions of the city, you can relax in the large living room on a long leather corner sofa set with a novel or a good film (satellite TV available) or share your experiences with friends on the Internet. If you like to cook, this will be child's play in our well-equipped kitchen corner. From the 4-plate glass ceramic cooktop to the microwave and fridge with freezer compartment to the coffee machine and kettle, everything is available to serve a magical breakfast, lunch or dinner on a large oak table in the dining area of the living room.


You will feel comfortable in the spacious bathroom with shower cabin, bathtub, sink and toilet.

In the nostalgically designed bedroom with real walnut veneered solid wood furniture and a double bed, you will find the desired peace after an eventful day in Nuremberg.

For another or two people, we can provide up to two beds in a niche in the living room.

Meals / Shopping: Two bakers and two butchers can be reached on foot in 5 minutes. There are three restaurants, a sports restaurant and a café in town.

Relaxation / wellness: On hot days it is cool and relaxing in our romantic courtyard. You can also use our deck chairs under the fruit trees on the lawn in the moat. Here you will also find enough space for your morning exercise or badminton. Barbecue facilities are available.

There is a medical massage practice in the house. In addition to massage, heat treatment with natural bog or red light is also offered here.

Charming

My mother and I came for the Toy Fair and were excited to have found an authentic old castle that had been turned into holiday apartments not far from the convention center. It was very nice to come home to the quiet and charming location after a busy and hectic day at the fair. Thanks to Alfred, Ella and the family for making our stay comfortable and pleasant.

Charming and unique

We stayed at the castle for Challenge Roth in July 2019 and absolutely loved it. The space we had in the apartment was phenomenal, with large bathroom and living areas and fully stocked kitchen. We were greeted by Alfred and Eva, who were so welcoming, we couldn't have asked for better or more helpful hosts. If you're looking for a unique place to stay near Nuremberg, this is a great option.

One of a kind

If you are looking for a one of a kind stay, this is for you! Beautiful castle and very well maintained. My two boys loved it as you cannot find something like this in Canada. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, the apartment clean and well equipped. Very good restaurant options in the Center of the village. You can reach downtown Nuremberg easily as well as the nearby Rothsee for swimming and relaxation. I recommend!

Great Place Run By Better People!!!

I cannot thank Eva enough for everything she did for me. After I left my bag in the taxi with my passport, computer and other important things, she helped me get a sim card, a charger for my phone, some food, and most importantly she called the taxi company for me multiple times till she tracked down my bag and got it returned to me! The place is almost inconsequential at this point and would be if it wasnt so beautiful! I stayed for Spielwarenmesse and it was very easy to get back and forth every day. Theres a great restaurant beside the church with a woman who speaks no English but is very very nice as well. I cannot ecommend this place any higher. I will be comong back next year! Thank you again Eva and hope you’re feeling better.

Unfreundlicher Gastgeber

- Gastgeber wirkt mit der Vermietung überfordert - als Gast fühlt man sich nicht willkommen - nachts laute Störgeräusche durch Gastherme - Gastgeber sucht beim Problem: Ausfall der Heizung und Warmwasserversorgung zunächst die Schuld beim Gast - Wohnung wird als „Kinder willkommen „deklariert. Bei unserer Ankunft wurde uns aber gesagt das unser Sohn zum toben rausgehen soll ( Wetter ist nicht immer dafür geeignet) - haben uns durch das unfreundliche Auftreten des Vermieters in der Unterkunft sehr unwohl gefühlt und sind nach der ersten Nacht abgereist

Strategisch günstig gelegene coole Unterkunft

In so einer echten Burg zu wohnen ist schon cool! Dabei ist trotz der mittelalterlichen Charmes alles vorhanden, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt braucht. Bis zu den nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ist es nicht weit (Zum Bäcker braucht man zu Fuß in 2 Minuten, zwei Supermärlte sind mit dem Fahrrad, dem Auto oder per Bus auch ganz schnell erreicht.) Stqartegisch günstig ist auch die Lage zu Nürnberg. Mit dem Auto gelangt man in vertretbarer Zeit zum Rothsee. Leider gibt es in der direkten Umgebung der Burg nichts zu sehen, und schon gar keine schöne Altstadt oder dergleichen.

Historic property in nice village!

Why not book a real castle for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure? So we did! Comfortable and updated rooms on the second floor. Everything was clean and the host, Alfred, was very helpful. Within walking distance of a small village with 2 restaurants and 2 bakeries. Highly recommended!

Unser "Schlösschen"

Wir haben unseren Urlaub in Kornburg auf "unserem kleinen Schlösschen" sehr genossen. Wir haben uns jeden Abend gefreut "nach Hause" zu kommen. Unsere Gastgeber haben alles getan, dass wir uns wohl fühlen und uns eine heimelige Atmospähre geschaffen. An so einem Ort voll von Geschichte zu sein, war schon etwas ganz besonderes für uns. Schade, dass wir wieder nach Hause mussten.

Wasserschloß Kornburg

Wir haben uns im Schloß sehr wohlgefühlt. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Die Ferienwohnung war sehr gemütlich und warm, keinesfalls feucht, wie man es evtl. bei einem alten Schloß befürchtet. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und wir würden dort jederzeit wieder buchen. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Wir sind mit unseren e-bikes nicht nur nach Nürnberg geradelt, sondern haben auch eine wunderschöne Tour entlang des Ludwig-Donau-Main Kanals nach Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz gemacht. An warmen Abenden kam es sich im Hof gemütlich machen und den Fledermäusen zusehen. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Vielen Dank nochmal für die guten Tipps und sollten wir wieder in die Nähe von Nürnberg kommen, würden wir diese Ferienwohnung auf jeden Fall wieder buchen

Traumhaftes Erlebnis

Hier hat einfach alles gestimmt. Von dem sehr freundlichen Empfang mit einigen hilfreichen Tipps und vielen netten Worten, bis hin zum Erlebnis an sich, mal in einer Burg zu übernachten. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und lässt eigentlich nichts vermissen. Rund um ein gelungenes Erlebnis, bei dem nicht nur die Kinder eine tolle Zeit hatten.
