After Johann Philipp Jakob Ebinger von der Burg had acquired the local rule of Mühlingen in 1698, the noble Ebinger family had Mühlingen Castle built in 1730. There are suspicions that a medieval spur castle had already stood on the Schlossbühl before . In 1731 the Ebingen family sold the local rule to Hans Andreas and Johann Georg von Buol-Berenberg .

The approximately 7,600 square meter castle complex included the extensive walled manor house, a garden and three farm buildings.

Mansion

The manor house , a simple baroque building with a rectangular floor plan and high hipped roof , is often found in this form in Hegau . The inner walls of the half-basement building consist of half-timbered structures filled with solid bricks .

On the ground floor there are two hallways, four rooms, a boiler room and a workshop, on the first floor there is a hallway with a wooden ceiling and a large room, four rooms and the kitchen with a pantry . The layout on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor: instead of the kitchen and pantry, there is a bathroom and toilet.

The south-east side of the house with a staircase to the main portal forms the main facade; it is structured by pilaster strips or buttress -like templates and has windows with wooden and stone frames.

In 1773 the interior of the house was expanded in the Rococo style. The barons of Buol-Berenberg remained landlords until 1805 .

The house was renovated around 1950, and in 1954 today's sanitary facilities, central heating and electrics were built.

Ignaz Freiherr von Buol-Berenberg (1927–1997) was the last resident of the castle in Mühlingen to die. The building is still owned by the Buol-Berenberg family today.

Enclosing wall

The enclosing wall with three gates consists mainly of lime blocks walled with lime mortar, which come from the area around Liptingen .

Farm buildings

The castle included a tithe barn (29 × 12.50 m) on the southeast side of the complex, a shed (3.5 × 2.5 m) on the north side and a carriage house with a stable (12.5 × 6.5 m) the northwest side.
