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.

Arts, Crafts, and Culinary Delights

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.
