Burgau's main square, which is always beautifully designed, offers not only rest and relaxation on comfortable benches, but also one or the other sight. The Marian column on the main square was built by Count Batthány in 1775. As early as 1778 it was damaged by a severe storm and then renovated. The statue of Mary looks to the east; the direction from which the plague came. Right next to the column is a mighty oak tree and a fountain underneath. There is also an e-bike charging station! When I walked past here, it was already decorated for Christmas at the beginning of November.

Column standing on a square base on the main square, marked 1750, with a gilded figure of the Virgin Mary from the Veit Königer workshop. The Marian column is made of sandstone and is approx. 11 m high. The year 1778 on the column is a reminder of the terrible storm and hailstorm in July of this year, which not only totally destroyed all crops, but also more or less damaged almost all buildings. During this storm, the Marian column was knocked over and smashed. The northern tower of the palace also fell victim.

Burgau is famous for their happy swines. There is a shop with pork here.
