From 1728, the Palm'sche Schloss was the residence of the Barons von Palm. The castle dates back to a manor house built around 1595, which was rebuilt and expanded several times. The castle complex included outbuildings, stables, and kitchen gardens, as well as the well from 1735. Since 1990, the district town hall of the Mühlhausen district has been established here.

The ruin with the three wooden gates and the three vaults behind them, located at the foot of the Engelburg, was built as a tithe barn in 1732. The building, called "Fruchtkasten", served, among other things, as a receiving point for in-kind contributions. During the Second World War, women and men from Mühlhausen built a bunker system into the mountain from the cellar rooms for protection against air raids.

The Freienstein belonged to the area „Freiberg" and was first mentioned in documents around 700. The historical connections regarding field names and land rights show that there was a - albeit small - castle here. A hint can be found in the „Geistlichen Lagerbuch von 1586". In a legal dispute around 1501, there is mention of a Neuhausen zu Freyenstein". The „Freiberg" with approx. 170 ha area belonged to the district of Münster. In 1951, during the construction of Stuttgart-Rot, 34.4 ha of the Zuffenhausen district were added. During the settlement of Stuttgart-Freiberg, in 1963, a further 58.3 ha were reassigned to Mühlhausen and 114 1.6 ha to Zuffenhausen.
