Schloss Burgk, Renaissance manor in Freital, Germany

Schloss Burgk is a former manor in the Burgk district of Freital, at the foot of the Windberg. Its ground floor and vaulted cellars date to the Renaissance around 1580; the house was rebuilt after a 1707 fire and remodeled around 1800 and in 1846, when it received slender gables and a roof turret.

Parts of the ground floor and the cellar vaults date from the Renaissance around 1580. The von Zeutsch family held the manor from 1507 to 1742; a fire destroyed the whole estate on 26 June 1707, and Caspar Heinrich von Zeutsch rebuilt it in 1708–1709. In 1768 senator Carl Gottfried Dathe acquired it with its coal fields, and his grandson Carl Friedrich August Freiherr Dathe von Burgk founded the Freiherrlich von Burgker Steinkohlen- und Eisenhüttenwerke in 1819.

The museum in the castle keeps the Städtische Sammlungen Freital, including nine paintings by Otto Dix and works by Willy Kriegel, Wilhelm Lachnit and Curt Querner. Since 1993 it has held Friedrich Pappermann's art collection, donated to the city; he was made an honorary citizen of Freital in 1994. The garden room has a wallpaper by Zuber et Cie.

The museum is housed in the manor at the foot of the Windberg, on the edge of the Döhlener Becken in the Großburgk district. From the palace park, visitors enter the "Tagesstrecke Oberes Revier" visitor mine, a 1,300-metre gallery driven between 1828 and 1832. The park, south and east of the manor house, holds a small pond surrounded by larches, plane trees and ginkgos.

In the palace garden stands the Rotkopf-Görg monument, unveiled in 1861, showing a musician and a gnome filling his hat with coal that turned to gold. The garden also holds the mouth of the Tagesstrecke Oberes Revier, a 1,300-metre drainage and ventilation gallery driven from 1828 to 1832.
