The Ensemble center in Burtenbach , a municipality in the Swabian district of Günzburg in Bavaria , is an architectural ensemble , under monument stands.

The place mentioned for the first time in the first half of the 12th century received market rights in 1471 . Decisive for the further development of Burtenbach was the acquisition of the place by Sebastian Schertlin in 1532, who as landlord expanded the place to the center of his imperial knighthood rule.

Stately inns and the town hall , which were built in the 17th and 18th centuries, are arranged around the market square . To the north-east of it, in the area with the Evangelical Lutheran Johanneskirche and the Schertlinhaus (former office building), the old rulership center of the place can still be seen today.

The newer castle of the 16./17. Century, located on the northern outskirts, was rebuilt in 1737 and is surrounded by a large park. It belongs to the ensemble and is connected to the market and church area by a series of small residential buildings on both sides of the street.
