The "Berggasthof Moritzberg" on the summit of Moritzberg is a quaint restaurant right next to the 600 year old Mauritius chapel and the Hindenburg tower, offering all kinds of Franconian delicacies, coffee and cake. The prices are fair, the portions are tidy and the service is brisk and nice. In summer you can enjoy your "Radlerhalbe" in the beautiful beer garden.

After the Schönberg palace complex was demolished in 1898, the St. James Church was built there by 1901. Only the fountain, the enclosing wall and the hunger tower remain from the castle complex.
