In the castle is an inn with beer garden. Looks quaint, but we were not a guest. According to a board at the entrance, the restaurant is open on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

In 1382, the castle was a nest of robber barons: Fritz von Streitberg the Young had recruited 33 'men' with spears and 60 armed infantry from the Rhön and Grabfeld to harm his uncle Georg Haller of Nuremberg. On Monday morning, October 27, 1382, they attacked three villages near Gräfenberg and stole cattle, horses and whatever they found and took 14 of his tenants into captivity at the "Gaylenrewt" fortress.
