Anyone who visits the Burghausen Castle Museum in the main castle will quickly notice the large number of large, impressive paintings. No wonder, since the Burghausen State Gallery is a branch gallery of the Bavarian State Painting Collections.
The state painting collection presents almost 60 paintings on two floors - from late medieval altarpieces, which reflect the cultural heyday of the monasteries in Upper Bavaria and the neighboring regions of Austria, to works of art from the early 17th century, which can be assigned to the Bavarian court.
A special attraction, with which the castle museum adorns itself, are probably the largest canvas paintings in Bavaria with a width of ten meters. They show important events in Bavarian history from the 13th to the 15th century. The Munich court painter Hans Werl originally created the works of art in the first decade of the 17th century for the Old Hercules Hall of the Munich Residence.
