Schloss Großmühlingen

The castle features a pavilion-like central building, stone masonry walls, and four wings arranged around an inner courtyard with Renaissance architectural elements.

First documented in 1318, the original structure was destroyed by Archbishop Burchard III of Magdeburg and later rebuilt under Count Albrecht von Arnstein.

Between 1219 and 1233, legal scholar Eike von Repgow wrote sections of the Sachsenspiegel, a fundamental medieval law book, at this location.

The castle currently stands vacant and requires extensive renovation work, with prospective buyers having opportunities to purchase this historical property.

The ground floor knight's hall contains preserved stucco reliefs from 1602, displaying intricate ribbed vault decorations characteristic of period craftsmanship.
