The Castle Mühlberg is an Outbound hilltop castle on the eponymous mountain near the village Imsweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate . Only sparse sandstone chunks are left of the former castle complex.
history
A castle on the mountain is mentioned in a document from 1242, when Werner von Bolanden received the mountain and the place as a fief .
investment
On the castle hill there are only partly worked stones lying around, mostly made of red sandstone . In a map from 1998, the location is only shown as a trigonometric point on the ground . The area is heavily overgrown with vegetation. It is therefore assumed that it must have been a wooden castle, which cannot be said for sure without archaeological excavations on the castle hill.
