context_page_description: Mildenstein Castle, in German Burg Mildenstein, also called Schloss Leisnig, is located in Leisnig in Landkreis Mittelsachsen, Saxony, Germany. It is a property of the Free State of Saxony and is administrated by the company State Palaces, Castles and Gardens of Saxony.
context_section_description: From 1957 until 2010 the museum had been home to the Giant Boot of Döbeln, a 2.48 m (8 ft 2 in) high riding boot which had been manufactured in 1925 on occasion of the 600th anniversary of the shoemaker's guild of Döbeln and is now shown in Döbeln town hall. In 1996, two Leisnig shoemakers presented another, 4.90 m (16.1 ft) high boot that is exhibited in a building near the castle and is regularly shown on parades.
  Permanent exhibitions in the museum are dedicated to Christian art, the life in the castle when it was used as a noble residence, the administrative tasks of the early modern period, and the history of the prison system. Topics of special exhibitions vary from year to year.
  The castle also offers guided tours, concerts, reenactment events, and themed events for children and families.
