Rotes Schloss Mihla

The stone foundation of Rotes Schloss supports two half-timbered floors with three tower-like projections on the northern facade and a gable roof.

The castle dates back to the 13th century as a manor of Mainz Electorate, later expanded by the von Harstall family who completed construction in 1581.

Professor Otto Binswanger transformed the castle grounds in 1898 by establishing a brewery, creating roads, and expanding the park areas for community benefit.

The castle remains vacant since 2004 after serving as a nursing home, and visitors cannot access the interior due to structural damage.

Archaeological studies revealed sections of the castle structure contain building elements dating back to the Romanesque period.
