In 1272 the castle was mentioned as a castle. It was rebuilt in Renaissance style in 1554 after a fire. In the 19th century, the surrounding moats were filled in, as was the Elbe straightened, which vorbefloß directly at the castle.

First mentioned in 1272 as a moated castle on a branch of the Elbe as the seat of the lords of Ileburg; belongs to the old town part of Mühlberg; Rebuilt in 1545 (after a town fire) under Elector Moritz as a hunting lodge; the moats were drained at the beginning of the 19th century; later used as a district court and prison, from 1859 as the main customs office, then as a school, youth club, city library, city archive and apartment; privately owned since 1999;

A bit of a lost place, but perhaps alive... The castle was acquired by three siblings from Mexico to serve as an arts center and resort. Well, there was a fire bowl in the courtyard, as if a celebration had recently taken place here and I also saw a flyer - maybe an insider tip.... ;-)
