Castle & History

  • The castle has a long history — one or two dukes and kings have lived here during their lifetimes. It has only been a wedding venue since the extensive general renovation in the historic style in 2015.

  • The ballroom, castle park, chapel, lake, and interior rooms are all on one site and can be combined into one continuous day — without changing locations and without public foot traffic.

Rooms & Grounds

  • Historic ballroom with access to the terrace, 16th-century castle chapel, bride and groom rooms, approximately 50,000 square metres of castle park, and a private lake with a lake island accessible via a bridge.

  • Yes. In addition to the chapel, there are areas in the castle park and by the lake for an outdoor ceremony.

  • The rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with underfloor heating. Projectors, screens, and sound systems are available for events. The castle grounds are illuminated in the evening.

  • That depends on the schedule and the areas used — ballroom, park, and marquee solutions differ significantly. We coordinate the appropriate size with you personally instead of naming a flat figure here.

Procedure & Organisation

  • No. The castle is used exclusively — during your private event, there is no regular public foot traffic.

  • The booking lasts until 04:00 AM; there is no curfew before then.

  • Many classic services can be booked directly through the venue. If required, we can recommend service providers and handle coordination. By arrangement, you can also bring your own service providers.

  • The castle has its own in-house kitchen. We will discuss the culinary arrangements for your occasion in person.
