Royal Winter Magic

24 November 2023 - 7. January 2024

Royal Winter Magic - Without market, without crowds - but with a lot of light, atmosphere and romance.

ROYAL WINTER MAGIC
The Royal Winter Magic will indulge you with enchanting illuminations and festive decorations in the inside and outside. Stroll along the castle grounds and through the interior and let yourself be led away into the Christmas world of the nobels and royals attended by contemplative sounds and the glamour of Advent. Court jester Klausi Klücklich will fly tiny and huge bubbles from the courtyard. Occasionally Santa Claus will drop by.

Experience shows that the Royal Winter Magic is booked up quickly, especially on weekends before 6 pm, due to the limited ticket contingents. We therefore recommend that you also consider visiting later in the evening or on weekdays.

The castle's gastronomy invites to Christmas delicacies:

  • In the Café Restaurant you are welcome to reserve a table to enjoy one of our winter menus.
  • In the castle garden, winter-decorated and heated huts can be rented on site (reservation in advance not possible), where small groups of up to 6 people are served mulled wine and winter delicacies.

The opening hours of the castle gastronomy during the time of the Royal Winter Magic are based on the above-mentioned opening hours of the Winter Magic. We ask for your understanding that the gastronomy is also closed outside these times. For enquiries and reservations, please contact the Café Restaurant on 07471-2345 or by email.
