A few words about the *History of Burghausen*.
The history of Burghausen dates back to the 11th century, when a castle was built here, which over the centuries was expanded into one of the largest castle complexes in Europe.
In the Middle Ages, Burghausen was an important trading centre and a major town in the Duchy of Bavaria. The town was often fought over and changed hands several times until it finally became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in the 19th century.
During the Second World War, Burghausen was bombed and badly damaged by the Allies. After the war, the town was rebuilt and developed into an important industrial location, especially through the establishment of chemical companies.
Today Burghausen is best known for its imposing castle complex, which attracts numerous visitors every year. However, the town also has a lively old town with historic buildings, churches and museums.
