The castle, which is now surrounded by water on four sides, is built on oak piles and was probably supplemented with stone buildings from 1302 onwards. A wooden defensive and residential tower is said to have stood here as early as the 9th century. The finds of the oak foundation in 2005, with a felling date of 1302, which are also on display in the castle courtyard, are the first evidence of the existence of old German moated castles on oak pile foundations in Upper Lusatia. From the 14th to the 18th century, the castle was expanded by the respective owners. In 1719/20, the von Ponickau family added the north tower and created the current basic shape. Since Moritzburg Castle was given its current shape in 1724/25, it is obvious that Milkel was the pilot project for Moritzburg.
