The Mühle House (Romanian: Casa Mühle) is a building located at 3 Mihai Viteazu Boulevard, Timișoara, Romania.
The house was built around 1866–1868, and in 1878 was purchased by horticulturist . He and his son lived there for decades on end, and used the building and its grounds as a greenhouse and garden. The last descendant to live there, Wilhelm's great-granddaughter, emigrated to Germany in 1992.[1] Eventually, the house entered the possession of a wealthy Roma family that allowed it to fall into ruins. Following protests and the intervention of city hall, a court ordered its restoration in 2016.[2]
Together with two other properties on the same street, the house is listed as a part of historic monument LMI Code TM-II-a-B-06110 by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[3]
