Burg Mühlhausen/Thüringen stands in Mühlhausen/Thüringen (Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis), in Thuringia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Burg Mühlhausen/Thüringen no longer exists: this stronghold once stood on the site of today's bus station in Mühlhausen/Thüringen, in the Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis. First recorded in the early Middle Ages as a seat of Ottonian kings and later the Staufer dynasty, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt before vanishing for good after a final medieval destruction. No archaeological traces have been found, as the area was heavily redeveloped, though street names and two former gates still mark its former outline.

What to know

No visible building of the former stronghold remains today.
The site now corresponds to the bus station of Mühlhausen/Thüringen, in the town centre.
Street names and the line of two former gates allow the rough location of the vanished fortress to be traced.
A visit is therefore limited to a walk through the neighbourhood, without an actual monument to see.
