The Burgstall lies on the edge of a foothill of the Lechleite that juts west into the Lech Valley . The terrain drops off very steeply here.

The approximately triangular main castle (approx. 38 × 38 meters) is secured in the south and east by a neck ditch up to 6.5 meters deep . Excavation traces, piles of rubble and remains of roof tiles tell of the earlier development of the interior. Some remains of the foundation wall just below the surface consist of smaller bricks (6.5 centimeters thick). In addition, there are mortared brook pebbles as building material.

A rectangular outer bailey is presented to the east , which is surrounded by an angular double wall with an approximately three meter deep trench in between . In the southeast, the large former gravel pit is pushed into the castle area.

Another Vorwerk can be seen in the northwest on the slope edge. The tongue-shaped, about 65 meters long plateau is protected in the east by a shallow ditch. Further to the east, another outwork jumps out of the slope. A short piece of rampart was also placed in front of the oval terrace in the north. Certainly the original castle path ran between these outer works. This way security could be an indication of an early medieval predecessor castle. The ring wall in Ottmaringer Holz near Kissing, interpreted as a Hungarian period , has a similar gate security . This weir system is located about 12 kilometers south on the Lechleite.

The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation lists the ground monument as a medieval castle stable under monument number D 7-7531-0051.

The five castles of Affing

The Mühlhausen fortress is only one of five castle sites in the Affing community , all of which date from the high Middle Ages. The castles in Affing (today Affing Castle ) and Iglbach were in the “ Affinger Becken ”, one was southeast of Haunswies and the castles in Mühlhausen and Miedering were on the Lechrain . The legendary “Goldburg” of Mühlhausen (at today's sports grounds of TSV Mühlhausen) was probably a wood on the “Goldberg”. The Lords of Mühlhausen are said to have buried their treasures here before the castle was destroyed.
