The town center is worth seeing, especially the gable of the town hall. The moated castle, around which the town was originally built, is also worth seeing.

Very pretty town ensemble, unfortunately many streets in the old town are paved and not suitable for racing bikes.

Mühlberg certainly has some places worth seeing. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to sit down and have a cup of coffee.

Gatehouse The gatehouse in the former outer area of the monastery also served as the monastery's guest house in the Middle Ages, as the nuns were not allowed to come into contact with them. This is why it was also called a hospice. The gatehouse in its current form as a two-story house with a passageway and stair tower dates back to the last bishop of Meissen, who took over the town, office and monastery of Mühlberg in 1559. Johann IX von Haugwitz had the building, which served as his residence during his occasional visits to Mühlberg, rebuilt and expanded in the Renaissance style. >>> Extract from the Mühlberg City Library <<<
