Tips from the Community

March 17, 2026, Crucifix with Seating Area

The Irish-born writer and literary scholar Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963), author of the fantasy series "The Chronicles of Narnia" (for which he was awarded the Carnegie Medal for Literature in 1956 for the final volume), only found his way to Christianity after a period of atheism and materialism. Before the small sacred monument in the form of a crucifix that stands here, I quote an important sentence by C. S. Lewis, which he wrote down during his conversion to Jesus Christ as Savior and Redeemer (1931): "Now, the story of Christ is simply a true myth: a myth that affects us just like any other, but with the enormous difference that it really happened."

March 19, 2025, Burgau Water Castle

Originally fortified with a wide moat, the fortified complex was a strategically important border fortress against the constant threat from the east. The castle became state property and has been owned by the market town of Burgau since 1871. In recent years, the castle, the inner courtyard, and the outer bailey with its round tower have been restored. The round tower houses the municipal office and a castle café; the outer bailey contains apartments; the cellar of the main castle features a beautiful brick vault and is used for various club events. The ballroom on the second floor and the inner courtyard with its arcaded vault are used for a variety of cultural events, including weddings and conferences.
