The Renaissance castle was built in 1535 by Anton Fugger as a water castle replacing the hunting lodge that Emperor Maximilian had acquired from the gentlemen of Freiberg in 1498. It has been expanded several times since then. Until 1804, there was even a Fugger line named after Mickhausen. The indebted Fuggers of Nordendorf sold the estates to Count Albert Rechberg-Rothenlöwen in 1843.

Today, the set-back four-winged manor is one of the most important monuments in the Augsburg district. In 2016, it was sold in dire need of restoration to the Hermann Messerschmidt Cultural Heritage Foundation, which has since been scientifically examining it and restoring it to its original condition so that it can be used for cultural purposes in the future.

Up and down through the valley of the Kruckenbächle and another small valley – the church towers of Mickhausen and Siegertshofen already peek into the next valley. Up again, then down a partly filled hollow way and soon on an asphalt path (view to the right of Mickhausen and the minster) down to Mickhausen, where we cross the Schmutter straight ahead and turn left into the main street. After the Raiffeisenbank, we pass the large yellow economic building behind which hides the impressive former Fugger castle, 518 m. At the junction, continue on Rosenstraße, which turns into a gravel path at the edge of the town. On this, we hike through the meadow valley of the Schmutter, which still meanders here.
