A warm welcome to Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser

Historic properties with character

Since 1965, Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser has brought together carefully selected historic properties across Europe – properties that have evolved over generations, shaped by their architecture and heritage, and underpinned by a philosophy that naturally carries history forward into the present day.

Cuisine & Wine

Every castle hotel has its own culinary signature – sometimes light-hearted and down-to-earth,
sometimes sophisticated and award-winning. Here, simple dishes are transformed into something special,
seasonal produce into a sensory delight, and traditional fare into something new and refined.

Weddings

Where the past and the present meet, space is created for what lies ahead. For a wedding in a venue
that is as unique as your shared history. A venue that understands the meaning of lasting love.

Experience

Architecture & Historical Periods

Proportions. Transitions. And the subtle interplay between old and new, which creates continuity out of change. The Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser have witnessed the changing times. And preserved them.

Rent a castle

A castle. For you – for a limited time. For occasions that deserve space. And depth. The Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser open their doors for weddings, celebrations, conferences and special gatherings. For celebrations that touch the heart. For conversations that linger. For ideas that are allowed to flourish. For everything that needs more than just a venue.

Character has its season

Spring in historic gardens. Summer evenings in the castle grounds. Autumnal cuisine. Winter retreats. Our castle hotels take on a new look with every season – yet remain true to themselves.
