"Today, the castle represents a focal point of cultural life in the West Vogtland town of Pausa-Mühltroff in the Mühltroff district. It was built as a lowland castle on a greenstone cliff. The castle's architectural gem is the medieval defense and watchtower. Also worth seeing is the "Black Kitchen." This old castle kitchen boasts one of the largest chimneys in the Saxon castle landscape, measuring approximately 21.5 meters. The castle houses a variety of club, event, and exhibition spaces, such as: The crank embroidery and jacquard weaving demonstration workshops The Eschke company exhibition The local history rooms The Vogtland costume association's traditional costume exhibition The art gallery with the MOMENTmal! exhibition The Rudolf Hirschberger Cabinet The "Memories of Mühltroff" exhibition Various events of different genres also take place. Individual tours from the cellar to the roof are also available outside of regular events by appointment." - https://www.schloss-muehltroff.de/
