Schloss Burgberg, Cultural heritage monument in Überlingen, Germany

Schloss Burgberg is a small moated castle on the Burgberg hill in the northeast of Überlingen, not on the lakeshore. The present building dates largely from the 1680s, when it was rebuilt as a Lusthaus after being burned in the Thirty Years' War. It has a baroque staircase, stucco ceilings of the Wessobrunn school, a majolica tiled stove and two small roof turrets with onion domes, one above the castle chapel.

Around 1374 Ulrich von Wil converted an economic building, whose foundations probably went back to a medieval moated castle, into a water castle between the three Burgberg hills. From the 15th century the imperial abbey of Rot an der Rot owned the estate for two hundred years. After the castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War, a largely new building, called a Lusthaus, was erected in the 1680s with a baroque staircase and stucco ceilings of the Wessobrunn school.

The castle chapel, added in the 1580s, was dedicated in 1588 to Norbert of Xanten, founder of the Premonstratensian order. It held a carved statue of Norbert and one of Saint Verena, patroness of Rot Abbey, and a fresco showing Norbert as bishop was uncovered again in 1932. In the 19th century the chapel served as a drinking room when the castle became an inn.

The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, so visits are limited to viewing it from outside. It stands on the Burgberg hill in the northeast of Überlingen, above Lake Constance, and can be reached on foot via paths on the hill. The roughly one-hectare castle park, laid out with mainly Canadian tree species, conifers and junipers, surrounds the building.

The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, so the baroque staircase and the stucco ceilings of the Wessobrunn school can only be seen from outside. The chapel, added in the 1580s, was dedicated in 1588 to Saint Norbert of Xanten; a fresco showing him as bishop was uncovered again in 1932.
