The historic town mill in Burg near Magdeburg (also known as the water mill on Breiter Weg) is one of the city's most striking technical monuments. The stately, brightly plastered building with its large arched gateway is picturesquely located directly on a loop of the river Ihle. For centuries, the water mill shaped the artisanal and industrial development of the region. Today, the renovated building complex is a popular photo motif during city tours and primarily serves as a residential and commercial property in the middle of the historic city center.

Next to the Oberkirche, the Unterkirche Sankt Nicolai shaped the city's history in the 12th century. The Romanesque granite ashlar building was erected from approx. 1155 to 1186 as the parish church of the Unterstadt. The church is a cruciform pillar basilica with a two-towered west facade. Sankt Nicolai is considered the largest Romanesque granite basilica east of the Elbe and is thus a special sign of fieldstone architecture. The furnishings are kept simple and modest. The pulpit and the magnificent epitaph were created at the beginning of the 17th century. The oldest gravestone in the "Unterkirche" dates from the year 1321. https://www.touristinfo-burg.de/sehenswertes/kirchen/kirche-sankt-nicolai.html

The tower is crowned by a wreath also made of brick. Inside the tower, remnants of the beginnings of ribbed vaults can be found. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Turm_(Burg_bei_Magdeburg)

The Hexenturm was built in the 11th century in Burg, and it is assumed that it was initially square and only received its round shape towards the end of the 15th century. Due to the loopholes, it is assumed that it served as a guard and defense tower. At the beginning of the 17th century, several witch trials took place in Burg. During this time, the tower was used as a prison for the alleged witches, which is where its name comes from. The tower contains a six-meter-deep dungeon. The prisoners could be lowered there through a round opening in the floor. The Hexenturm retained its function as a women's prison until 1846. In that year, a new courthouse with a prison was built in Burger Hainstraße. The tower was to be demolished several times in the following period, as there was no longer any use for it. However, these plans failed. It was restored by monument conservators as early as 1985, which is commemorated by the year on the tower's spire. Between 1998 and 1999, it was then comprehensively renovated and can be visited today as part of guided tours. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexenturm_(Burg)
