From 1754 to 1760 the baroque castle was finished externally. It was not fully completed until 1815 to 1818, two years after the death of its builder, Prince Bishop Clemens August. In the western part of the castle is the Catholic baroque church with the famous ceiling fresco by Joseph Gregori Winck. For many years, the district court was housed in the east wing. For more than thirty years, the castle has been the home and workplace of the internationally renowned painter and graphic artist Prof. Gerd Winner.
Due to the death of Elector and Prince-Bishop Clemens August, the palace park was not completed. In addition to the baroque garden design, the sculptures that belong to a baroque palace are missing.
The sculptures, three-disk cross, sun arrow and sky disk are part of this tradition. Its reference to the times, however, does not lie in the historical decoration, but is linked to today's time and the world of work. They also do not require a base, but have their basis in nature. The sculptures are connected via the Strautetal with the nine (9) sculptures by international artists of that time - the Road of Peace from Paris to Moscow.
The freely accessible ILE* leisure time stamp point 3 "Castle & Sculpture Park Burgberg" is located directly at the car park next to the information board.
*ILE - Integrated Rural Development - the stamping points are located in scenic and culturally significant places in the "Northern Harz Foreland" region
