Burgstall Mühlbach
In the Middle Ages, a small castle complex measuring around 20 x 30 metres was located on the rocky spur jutting out into the Mühlbach valley with the "head rock" at the top. Its builder, about whom there is no documentary information, was probably a local nobleman from the surrounding area. One hundred metres in front of the main castle, a rampart over one hundred metres long with a moat in front of it provided additional protection for the castle. The fortifications end in the north and south on the steep slope and completely sealed off the entire rocky spur with the main castle. Behind the rampart, which was probably once fortified with a wooden palisade, the area of the outer bailey extended.
This is where the castle's commercial buildings were located, such as cattle sheds, storehouses, servants' quarters, workshops, etc. The buildings were probably made entirely of wood, as no traces of stone buildings can be found.
The actual main castle, in which there was certainly a tower-like residential building, was separated from the outer castle by a wide moat. At the time of the castle, a wooden bridge probably led over the moat. Behind the moat, one must imagine a fortified gate and palisades to protect the castle. There is no information about the end of the small castle complex.
