At the festival celebrating 1000 years of existence in 1958 pope Pius XII. made this place of worship a basilica minor, which makes it the only papal basilica in the diocese Wu\u0308rzburg.<\/p>\n

The castle is built in the renaissance style and celebrated its 600 years jubilee in 2012. It is known for example as film set for \u201cDas Wirtshaus im Spessart\u201d (The Inn in the Spessart forest) with the actors Liselotte Pulver and Carlos Thompson as well as location for the theatre play. Due to its hidden location the castle survived all wars unmarred and has been retained in its original form. Mespelbrunn Castle is privately owned to the present day. Since the beginning of the 1950s the owners have been committed to maintain the building as a monument as well as open it to the public.<\/p>\n
