B 101 ENGLISH A symbol of power carved in stone

S ee K rie ide Standing high up on the walls of Mildenstein Castle, gazing into bs r s tein the Castle on the o the valley of the River will make you dream. This is what the castle lords felt already 500 years ago – this castle is a dream of power and rulership turned to stone. It stands imposing, high up on a steep rock above the green river bank, seemingly inconquerable. In the bailey there is a high, windowless tower, the keep. It counts among Saxony’s oldest brick structures. Its history dates back to the 12th century and is full of adventurous events. Just opposite, you will fi nd the entrance to the Romanesque chapel. At Mildenstein Castle, you will experience the Middle Ages fi rst hand: the exhibition tells of its almost 1,000 years of history in an up-to-date way and interactively – especially thrilling for children and families. A true insider tip is the newly reconstruct- ed medieval black kitchen – it is fully operable. You must also discover the small tranquil town. Strolling through its charmingly winding lanes, one can walk right up to Mildenstein the castle. And allow yourself a delicious meal at the rustic res- taurant right before the gates to the castle.
