Nice gem located away from the actual castle. Great wedding location.

You should also visit the Sophienpark and the Sophienhaus, about 300 meters from Burgk Castle. From here you have beautiful views of the Saale and the long wooden bridge.

A richly decorated stucco adorns the ceiling of the Sophienhäuschen, a rococo pavilion on the Sophienberg near the palace. Above the entrance it bears the name Heinrich III.
During the renovation period in 1742/1743, the castle chapel received a valuable small organ. It comes from the famous organ builder Gottfried Silbermann (died 1753 in Dresden). The organ is still played today.
The surroundings are also embellished in a remarkable way. On the already mentioned Sophienberg, after the mother Heinrich III. named, walking paths are created that run across the park.
