The Royal Winter Magic is not a Christmas market, but a very elaborately designed special exhibition inside and outside the castle. Instead of stall charm and crowds, it offers a Christmas atmosphere in a historical setting.
In the Count's Hall, a twelve-metre-long table will be on display with original service and silver from imperial stocks, flanked by a seven-metre-high Christmas tree. But the other chambers will also be enchantingly decorated. Visitors can explore them at will and let themselves be carried away into the Christmas world of royalty and majesties. There will also be an exhibition on the history of glass Christmas decorations in the Catholic castle chapel.
As dusk falls, the facades in the castle courtyard are regularly illuminated on a large scale. This is also where court juggler Klausi Klücklich lets shimmering soap puffs rise into the night sky to the smell of mulled wine and waffles. Every now and then, St. Nicholas or his little helpers will drop by and the puppets will dance on Cinderella's marionette stage.
The castle restaurant has winter delicacies on the menu and small groups can enjoy hearty treats in heated themed huts in the castle garden. In addition, Café Kira on the 3rd floor invites you to enjoy coffee and cake in a cosy living room atmosphere.
