The Renaissance castle in Mickhausen is also called the Staudenschloss.

The moated castle was built by the Lords of Freyberg in the middle of the 15th century. Emperor Maximilian bought it in 1498 and converted it into a hunting lodge. In 1528 it came into the possession of the Fuggers. 1691–1695 the castle was again heavily rebuilt by Count Paul Fugger von Kirchberg and Weißenhorn. After three centuries in the possession of the Fugger, the Staudenschloss was sold in 1842/1843 by the indebted Count Karl Anton Fugger-Nordendorf to the Count von Rechberg-Rothenlöwen. During the Second World War, the castle was used as a hospital and was a nursing home for the elderly until 1967.

In 2001 the Mickhausen community bought a large part of the castle complex and the entire castle courtyard from Haus Rechberg. In the summer of 2016, the moated castle was acquired by the Hermann Messerschmidt Cultural Heritage Foundation. The Staudenschloss will continue to be restored in the coming years in order to put it into sustainable public use.

The moated castle was built in the mid-15th century and owned by the Fugger family from 1528 to 1843.

Today it is owned by the municipality of Mickhausen.
