Mühltroff castle was probably in the 10th to 11th centuries to strengthen the rule of German Emperor, the knights to protect against attacks by the Sorbs with their fixings mortgaged founded. In 1357 the Plauen bailiffs had to hand over the castle to the Wettin margrave brothers Balthasar and Wilhelm , who then enfeoffed various vassal families with it. In 1380 the castle was burned down in the Guttenberg feud.
From 1949 to 1989, the castle, which was made public property of the GDR , was used as a residential building until it came back into Mühltroff's possession after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was sold privately in 1999 as the only part of the castle and contains modern apartments.
As the cultural center of the place, the castle, which can be visited during guided tours, offers rooms for a wide range of club and exhibition activities as well as a wide range of events, with the 'black kitchen' being particularly worthy of mention.
The castle was founded as a low castle on a green stone cliff as a round defense and watch tower surrounded by moats , around which residential and farm buildings and a manor were built over the centuries.
The main building of the castle dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, when a lot was built. Remodeling took place after the fire in 1817 and the castle tower was redesigned between 1820 and 1837 and 1856.
References:The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.
The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.
The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
