Burgk Castle in Freital


Author's tip

A visit to Burgk Castle should definitely be planned at the beginning or end of the hike.

The castle, which dates back to the early 16th century, now houses a museum complex with exhibitions on the history of mining, the city, the region and Dresden art. The art collection and the Pappermann Foundation display paintings on the development of art in Dresden from 1764 to the present day. A visitor mine, a mining exhibition and a technology garden provide an authentic experience of the region's mining history. There is also an idyllic castle park, a castle café in the courtyard and a large adventure playground on the subject of mining.
