Kornburg was first mentioned in a document in 1236 as the seat of the Imperial Minister Konrad von Kornburg (also: Chunradus de Chvrenburc). The name is probably derived from the Kornberg. The ridge extends north of Kornburg, from Wendelstein to Worzeldorf. Good millstones for water mills were already being broken in its quarries in Carolingian times. The Middle High German name for the millstone and the mill was Kurn, Kürn or Kürne

The former moated castle Kornburg is a very well preserved horseshoe-shaped castle, it is ring-shaped by a (now dry) moat. The Kornburg moated castle was probably built around 1288. The castle is privately owned and you can rent an apartment there.
