Schloss Mühlhausen stands in Mühlhausen (Landkreis Erlangen-Höchstadt), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Mühlhausen stands in Mühlhausen, in the Landkreis Erlangen-Höchstadt, Bavaria, on the site of a moated castle first built in the mid 14th century by the von Egloffstein family. The present building, a two storey four wing structure with hipped and gabled roofs, took its current form during a baroque rebuilding carried out between 1746 and 1748. A wide open area surrounding the house, the remnant of the moat that once encircled the medieval stronghold, still traces the outline of the former fortification. A sandstone bridge from the 18th century leads to the entrance, where the gate bears the von Egloffstein coat of arms twice.
