Burghausen Castle
Burghausen Castle is a medieval castle complex in Burghausen, Upper Bavaria, noted for its exceptional length along a ridge. The surviving buildings form a sequence of a main castle (Hauptburg) with an inner courtyard and five successive outer courtyards, incorporating chapels, halls, towers and defensive works; today parts house a castle museum.

As it stood in 1503
The shape it held in its prime.
Long linear silhouette of stone curtain walls and stepped defensive terraces running along a narrow hill ridge, punctuated by a sequence of square and round towers and gatehouses; pale grey limestone or sandstone masonry with regular small window openings; continuous red clay-tiled gabled roofs over the main ranges and conical tiled roofs on some towers; a dominant palas at the highest point and lower outer baileys terraced down toward the town and the Wöhrsee lake; complete and occupied in its prime.
