Schloss Ruhethal stands in Mügeln (Landkreis Nordsachsen), in Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Ruhethal stands at the northern edge of Mügeln, in the Döllnitz valley, marked by a forty-metre tower that dominates the whole complex. A moated stronghold already occupied the site before a first building, together with a chapel, was raised there around 1150 for the bishops of Meissen. The three massive wings arranged around a narrow courtyard date from a 1572 rebuilding carried out by Johann von Haugwitz, which gave the place its present form. Visitors can still make out the vaulted chapel at the base of the tower and the so-called bishop's hall, covered by a radiating vault with fifteen ribs.
