Mühlen Castle

The castle was built in the first half of the 17th century by the Barons of Münch. In 1807, the castle burned down and was subsequently rebuilt.

The Münch family died out in 1757. The castle and the estate were inherited by the Counts of Schönburg-Hinterglauchau. The castle remained in their possession until 1945.

After the expropriation in 1945, the castle served various purposes. It was first a refugee camp, then a school, and later a retirement home. The castle underwent several renovations during this time, which, however, did not always take historical preservation into account.

After the reunification, the castle was initially empty. In 1993, it was acquired by a private investor who extensively renovated it. Today, the castle houses a hotel and a restaurant. It is also used for events and conferences.
