Museum Castle Mylau

Mylau Castle in Northern Vogtland is one of the most impressive medieval castles in Saxony.

The castle Mylau in the north of the Vogtland is one of the most imposing medieval castle complexes in Saxony. Once the seat of nobility in the Middle Ages and the early modern age, eventually with bourgeois owners, the castle underwent a transformation in the 19th century into a factory and finally became the Town Hall with tavern and museum.

The permanent exhibition on various topics was established in 2014.
