Picturesquely situated on the banks of the Upper Saale, Burgk Castle, the former Reuss residence, not only houses historic living and showrooms as well as a precious interior, but with its collections, exhibitions, concerts and festivals, it is also a cultural centre in eastern Thuringia and is considered one of the most beautiful castles in central Germany. Impressive late medieval fortifications enclose a building that conceals numerous treasures behind a simple façade.

The interior of the castle ranges from the simple elegance of the Knights' Hall, the largest room in the oldest part of the castle, to the dining room, which is decorated in the French style, to the state bedroom, a room that elevates the bed to the throne of statesmanlike affairs.

In addition, the music salon and China room allow a glimpse into the refined living culture of the Rococo period.
