Mildenstein Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Leisnig, Germany.

The stone fortress stands on a rocky outcrop above the Freiberger Mulde River, featuring thick walls, towers, and extensive halls throughout its structure.

The castle received its first written mention in 1046 when Emperor Heinrich III granted the property to Agnes of Poitou as a wedding present.

The Romanesque castle chapel, constructed around 1100, contains substantial original architectural elements and remains a central part of the structure.

The castle opens daily except Mondays, with guided tours available in German that take visitors through the knights' halls and medieval kitchens.

The castle served as a residence for Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński in 1706, hosting 1000 people and 400 horses during his stay.
