Burghof, Residential complex and footpath in Flensburg, Germany.

Burghof is a residential complex of seven red brick buildings in Flensburg with two courtyards and a fountain featuring a boy and fish sculpture. The complex provides access through gates at Toosbüystraße 11 and Marienstraße 22 and houses over 60 apartments near the pedestrian zone.

The site stood originally on the remains of a medieval tower that was part of Flensburg's city fortifications and served as a residence for important officials. The current complex was designed in 1909 by architect Paul Ziegler, replacing the old fortification with modern residential structures.

The name Burghof and the castle-like layout refer to a medieval tower castle thought to have stood on the raised ground beside the Marienstraße gate, where the Lille Teater now sits. Until the early 19th century that lane was called Norderkuhgang, because cattle were driven through a town gate at No. 23 to the common pasture. A stone vase set into the wall of the Toosbüystraße passage is the only such element in the complex.

The complex is within walking distance of the pedestrian zone and is easily accessible for visitors exploring the area. Keep in mind this is a residential space, so visitors should maintain quiet and respect for residents.

The only sculpture inside the complex besides the stone vase in the Toosbüystraße gateway is the Fisher Boy at the fountain in the large courtyard. The small courtyard, with house number 4, is plastered and painted light, unlike the bare brick of the larger one, and looks toward the higher ground where a tower castle is thought to have stood.
