Schloss Kornburg stands in southern Nuremberg as a former water castle from the thirteenth century, surrounded by a moat. Its medieval walls and quiet grounds create a historic setting away from the city centre.

The site, also known as Rieterschloss, lies about twelve and a half kilometres from central Nuremberg. It stands seven kilometres south of the exhibition centre, with public transport nearby. Several holiday apartments occupy the castle, combining historic surroundings with internet access and television. Shops for daily needs, restaurants and cafés are within walking distance of the grounds. The courtyard offers a cool retreat on hot days, while fruit trees shade the moat area. Families can also find activities for children around this unusual setting.
