Castle Christmas
Children’s cinema, Santa Claus and a festive fair within the castle walls
On Friday, 11 December 2026, we invite you to open the doors to the festive season together and step into the magical world of Castle Christmas – an event created with love for tradition and community. This year it will be even richer, as we are combining it with a family afternoon: at 17:00 the youngest guests can enjoy a free film screening in the castle’s heated Renaissance hall, and after the film Santa Claus will be waiting for them.

- Free tour of the castle
