1.051 meters, six castle courtyards, magnificent gardens, two chapels, and a breathtaking panorama: Burghausen Castle is not only the longest castle in the world, it is a masterpiece of medieval architecture and the heart of the city. As you stroll through the centuries on a walk through the castle courtyards and finally cross a massive wooden bridge through the mighty iron gate into the defiant main castle, you are transported to the pure Middle Ages and experience a unique piece of European history. The first expansion of the castle began in the 11th century, followed by further development as the seat of the Counts of Burghausen in the 12th century. The fortress complex took on its present form in the 15th century under the wealthy Lower Bavarian Dukes, particularly Duke Henry XIII and Duke George the Rich.

The Holy Spirit Hospital, with its Holy Spirit Church, is a former hospital in the old town of Burghausen. It now serves as a church meeting center and a BRK retirement home. Between 1319 and 1332, Friedrich der Mautner and his brother-in-law Konrad Ermreich founded a hospital building with a church and cemetery outside the city gates for the sick and needy. The hospital existed here until 1956 and was replaced by a new building on the banks of the Salzach River. Afterward, the building served as an episcopal seminary and, since 1993, as the church meeting center "Haus der Begegnung Heilig Geist" (House of Encounter Holy Spirit).

"In den Grüben," with its colorful, mostly late-Gothic artisan houses, is largely a pedestrian zone. The street, which leads into the town square, is not only a popular meeting place but also a lively area for restaurants, arts, crafts, and shopping. Burghausen has hosted the International Jazz Week since 1970. To mark its thirtieth anniversary in 1999, decorative stones were set into the street's pavement in honor of the artists: the city's "Street of Fame." Jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Barber, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, and Till Brönner have all performed in Burghausen. The stones bear the names, signatures, and dates of birth and death of the artists.

With its mighty and widely visible 79-meter-high gray tower with its double-laced Baroque onion dome from 1778, the Roman Catholic parish church of St. James is the largest church in Burghausen. The Romanesque predecessor church on this site was consecrated on September 19, 1140, as a branch of the Mehring parish. It was destroyed by flames in the town fire of 1353. Construction began that same year; the church burned down again in 1504, was rebuilt, and collapsed in 1851. It was rebuilt as a three-aisled basilica from 1853 to 1855 according to plans by the architect Franz Denzinger. The Baroque furnishings were removed, and the interior was renovated in the Neo-Gothic style.

The town hall was built in the 18th century by combining three originally separate residential plots. The western façade was redesigned as a unified structure after the merger. The core of the Gothic atrium dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, while the façade dates back to the 18th century. The building was inhabited by the noble Mautner family before being acquired by the town in 1439. The façade features the Burghausen town coat of arms, with the Bavarian heraldic symbols of diamonds and lions above it.
