Burghausen Castle is the longest castle complex in the world (1051 m), confirmed by the Guiness World Record company. The gothic castle comprises the main castle with the inner courtyard and five outer courtyards.
The outermost point of the main castle is the Palas with the ducal private rooms. Today it houses the castle museum, including late Gothic paintings of the Bavarian State Picture Collection.
