Drei Gleichen / Mühlburg

Mühlberg
(approx. 16 km away from Gotha)

Mühlburg castle is the oldest (first mentioned 704) of the impressive triad. In its heyday it mainly served to protect the old trade route (copper route) between Erfurt and Nuremberg.

The castle fell into ruin after the Thirty Years’ War. The 22 m high and accessible castle tower (with small museum) and the 56 m deep castle well are testament to its former size. The name Mühlburg is closely associated with Saint Radegunde (518 – 587). The Thuringian princess founded Europe’s first nunnery in Poitiers, France and was proclaimed a saint in the 9th century.
