The ruins have a very special character due to their construction – you can still really feel the connection between nature and medieval architecture.

The master brewer is employed by the city of Seßlach and is responsible for the so-called "Kommunbräu" (communal brewery). His personal territory – the Kommunbrauhaus (Maximiliansplatz 105) at the lower end of Pfarrgasse – was built in 1892 and later renovated in 1960 and 1997/1988. It is one of the last breweries of its kind. Approximately 40 batches are brewed annually. Of these, around 40% go to the local inns Gasthof Reinwand and Landgasthof ROTER OCHSE Seßlach, and approximately 60% to private individuals.
