It was built in 1150 in the Döllnitztal including the chapel and was the former bishopric of the Meissen diocese . At the place where the castle stands today, there used to be a moated castle. Meißner bishops carried out further modifications in 1261 and 1341. The mighty 40-meter-high tower, which was built under Bishop Nicholas I in 1380, is characteristic of the view of Ruhetal Castle .
The castle was the resting place of Bishop Johann IX around 1590 . from Haugwitz . Today the Free State of Saxony is the owner. A support association from Mügeln develops usage concepts and takes care of the maintenance of the castle.
