Beschreibung
On the main street is the Renaissance Mickhausen Castle. Originally, the castle was owned by the nobles of Reck. In 1528, the castle came into the possession of the Bohemian king and later emperor Ferdinand I through the von Argon family and later Heinrich von Freiberg. Afterwards it went as a fief gift to Jakob Fugger. His foster son, Raymund Fugger, had the castle extended by Narcissus Krebs between 1535 and 1536. Between 1691 and 1695, the castle was heavily rebuilt by Count Paul Fugger. In 1842 it was rebuilt again and has been preserved at this stage to this day. In 1843 it was sold by the indebted Count Karl Anton Fugger-Nordendorf to the Count of Rechberg-Rothenlöwen. During the Second World War, the castle was used as a hospital and until 1967 as a nursing home for the elderly. Since then, the castle has been privately owned. In 2016 it was sold to the Hermann Messerschmidt Cultural Heritage Foundation. The perennial castle will be further restored in the coming years in order to bring it to sustainable public use.
