The Berliner Turm is a listed tower of the historical city fortifications of the town of Burg. It stands on the north side of Berliner Straße, east of Burg's town center, was built in the 14th century from fieldstones and belonged as a gate tower to the Berliner Tor. The gate, also known as Liebfrauentor, was demolished in 1806, but the round tower was preserved. In the middle of its height, it has two layers of brick. The tower is crowned by a wreath also made of brick. Inside the tower, remnants of the beginnings of ribbed vaults can be found. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Turm_(Burg_bei_Magdeburg)

The Burg bei Magdeburg train station is located in the northwest of the city and was opened in 1846 on the Berlin–Magdeburg railway line. The facility is a through station with three platforms and several listed buildings, including the station building, a water tower, and a crane system. Between 1896 and 1965, the transshipment station of the Jerichower Kleinbahnen also existed about 500 m from the main station. During this time, further freight facilities, connections, and an expansion of the station building were built. After the closure of the local railway, the main line was modernized several times. The station forecourt received an award in 1999 as "the most beautiful in Saxony-Anhalt". https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof_Burg_(b_Magdeburg)

The Protestant city church "Unser Lieben Frauen" in Burg near Magdeburg - mostly called Oberkirche by the locals - is a significant, predominantly Gothic hall church with Romanesque origins. It is located on a small hill in the historic old town next to the town hall and is an important stop on the tourist route of Romanesque architecture. The church's most striking feature is its two different spire tops. Until the year 1500, both west towers were exactly the same height. For the installation of a watchman's apartment, the south tower roof was reduced, and in the late 16th century, both towers received their current, completely individual helmets. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unser_Lieben_Frauen_(Burg_bei_Magdeburg)
