At the beginning, there was a castle – but today the town of Burgau presents itself as modern, developing and with numerous cultural treasures endowed (10,000 inhabitants approx.). The “Prun de Burgou” was first mentioned in a historic document in the year 1147, then the town Burgau belonged as part of the margraviate Burgau to Upper Austria. The buildings of this period in particular, such as the castle, the parochial church and the “Blockhausturm” are still the town’s landmarks. So we are pleased to invite you to a walk though the town or to one of our guided tours. You may be enchanted by the narrow alleys, beautiful churches, and interesting views. Looking for recreation you may find next to lovely biking tracks quiet and contemplative places as well, imbedded in a scenery affected above all by the rivers Mindel and Kammel. The “Wichtelland Burgau”, the wildlife museum, and the nature bee trail provide another variety of activities for families with children.
