The overall layout today presents itself as a rectangular garden, divided into six rectangles separated by paths. The castle is centrally located, the paths are designed as avenues. The original garden design is no longer recognizable, most areas are covered with lawn, the middle rectangles have sparse tree stands, and another area has a bosquet.

Of the church's original furnishings, only a Gothic image of the Virgin Mary has been preserved, which was restored in 1648 after the church burned down.[21] The current furnishings include various altars, an ambo, a baptismal font, a pulpit, an organ, pews, the Stations of the Cross and figures.

Anyone who visits Memmelsdorf quickly realizes that this isn't just a place for running, it's also a place for brewing. The Höhn Brewery combines Franconian hospitality with distinctive beers – down-to-earth, honest, and good. On the Brewery Run route, this is one of those places where you'll gladly slow down for a moment. Not because you have to, but because you feel: This is exactly what Franconia feels like.
