Mespelbrunn earns its livelihood above all from tourism, and is known for its charming Mespelbrunn Castle (Wasserschloss Mespelbrunn), expanded beginning in 1551 by the family Echter.
The community lies eastsoutheast of Aschaffenburg on the western edge of the Spessart (range) between Aschaffenburg and the “fairytale castle” of Mespelbrunn.
