One of Thuringia's oldest preserved structures, the Mühlburg stands atop a hill 375m above sea level. Although considered a castle ruin, it is the oldest of the three Drei Gleichen castles, dating to around 704. Its moat walls, drawbridge and 22m-high castle tower are intact. There is a small museum displaying pottery and household items from the Middle Ages. Visitors can climb the tower for wonderful views and a real sense of history.
