Romantic Christmas Market in the Margrave's Castle and Courtyard
The Burgauer Schlossweihnacht is one of the most atmospheric Christmas markets in Swabia. The venue is Burgau's historic Margrave's Castle and its courtyard – a backdrop that lends the market a special, romantic character. In 2026, the Schlossweihnacht will be held for the 21st time.
Numerous Burgau associations and institutions shape the market, presenting a carefully selected mix of arts and crafts, gift ideas, and culinary specialties. Mulled wine, punch, and other treats provide pre-Christmas warmth within the historic walls.
Musical performances accompany the market throughout the weekend, and there is a dedicated program for children. Visitors can also explore the Town Museum during the Christmas market – thus, the Schlossweihnacht combines an Advent market with a cultural experience.
The town of Burgau in the Swabian district of Günzburg, situated on the Mindel river, is known for its Margrave's Castle and its vibrant club culture.
