The beautiful #castle of #Mespelbrunn was built from 1427 on by #knight Peter Echter of Mespelbrunn close to the unexploited forest around #Aschaffenburg in #Bavaria. Back then the forest was often used by bandits as a #hideout from their raids, and over the following generations the presence of the knight’s castle made the area safe again – with the castle ultimately turning into a dreamy location for tourists.
