In the fourth courtyard of the castle in Burghausen is the outer castle chapel of St. Mary, also known as Hedwig's Chapel. It was built under Duke George of Wittelsbach and his wife Hedwig between 1479 and 1489.

The clock tower with covered well house is located in the fifth courtyard (sixth castle courtyard) of the castle. The picturesque tower with striking clock and sundial dates from the 16th century.

The outer castle chapel of St. Mary, called Hedwig's Chapel, was built under Duke George the Rich and his wife Hedwig between 1479 and 1489. It is an important example of late Gothic architecture. Since the 16th century at the latest, there has been a garden next to the chapel. In a description of the castle from 1573, it is referred to as "the captain's wide garden". The name "Vicedomgarten" is still in use today (Vicedom = chief administrator and deputy of the duke). The division of the garden into a uniform grid of paths and green spaces can be traced back to the 18th century on plans. The gardener's tower stands directly next to the garden. In 1573 it was simply called "ain wacht Thurn", and its traditional name also refers to its use as a residential building. Such dual use was common for many of the castle's towers.

Nice sunbathing area. Great excursion destination.

Approximately in the middle of the sixth courtyard is the picturesque clock tower with a striking clock and sundial from the 16th century, with a now covered fountain directly attached. In contrast to the usual time display, the tower clock shows the minutes with the short hand and the hour with the long hand.

In the fourth courtyard of the castle in Burghausen is the outer castle chapel of St. Mary, known as the Hedwig Chapel. It was built under Duke George of Wittelsbach and his wife Hedwig between 1479 and 1489. The church was dedicated to the ​“Holy Virgin Mary” from the very beginning. The chapel is one of the most important late Gothic buildings in Bavaria. The vaults with ribs over a curved floor plan are particularly significant; they were one of the stylistic innovations in vault construction at the time. Although part of the chapel is set into the eastern defensive wall, it impresses with its delicate character; a small porch rests on delicate red marble columns; at the corners of the porch, sandstone figures can be seen under canopies, representing the English greeting: on the left the angel Gabriel, on the right Mary. Remains of late Gothic frescoes can be seen on the walls inside. There are also late medieval votive reliefs and statues from the same period under canopies that are directly connected to the astonishingly irregular cross-ribbed vault. The chapel is in excellent condition; only the altarpiece is no longer original, but it also dates from the late 15th century and has been on display there since 1959 as a loan from the Bavarian National Museum in Munich. https://pfarrverband-burghausen.bistum-passau.de/hedwigskapelle
