Mildenstein Castle is a partner of the Leipzig Card/ Leipzig Regio Card. The benefits are described under "Good to know/ Price information".
Salian kings, Staufers, Wettins: Mildenstein Castle is one of the oldest castles in Saxony. Behind the meter-thick walls, the Wettin dynasty built a notorious prison. To this day, visitors shudder at the sight of the multiple lockable doors and bizarre instruments of torture. The wooden construction of the Gothic granary floor, the keep, the Romanesque castle chapel and the medieval knights' halls are particularly impressive. "Frieder Berg", the witty donjon, tells of his adventures. The exhibition "The Court of the Young Lords - Mildenstein Castle as the Elector's Nursery" completes the family-friendly offer in Central Saxony. Events take place in the "Schwarzküche" and the "Fürstenstube" in a unique ambience.
The interactive treasure hunt with escape room
A unique adventure awaits with the interactive treasure hunt! Equipped with a tablet and a team of two to eight friends or family members, a 90 to 120-minute treasure hunt starts across the entire castle grounds and leads to a secret escape room. Here you can prove your puzzle-solving skills: Those who solve all the puzzles within 20 minutes will find the "Treasure of the One-Eyed Man" at the end.
