Meetings & Workshops
Seminars and meetings in extraordinary venues
A place where people like to meet
New ideas need space. And sometimes they also need a break from the familiar. In places where people have been thinking, creating and making decisions for centuries, both of these things come about quite naturally.
The Schlosshotels & Herrenhäuser open their historic properties as unique venues for conferences, seminars and workshops in the castle. No anonymous conference floors, no interchangeable rooms – but salons, libraries, vaulted rooms and light-filled halls full of character. Places steeped in history, yet open to whatever may emerge.
A heritage that has developed over time does not preclude professionalism. On the contrary: modern technology, flexible room layouts and attentive hosts create the perfect setting for productive work. Breaks take place in the garden, and conversations continue over a shared meal.
And it is often precisely the opportunity to stay overnight in the castle that leaves a lasting impression on a workshop or seminar. When a working day turns into an evening spent together, an exchange takes place that goes beyond the programme itself.
Is a castle a suitable venue for corporate meetings?
Yes. Holding a meeting at a castle deliberately offers a change of scene from the traditional conference setting. Historic rooms encourage concentration and foster new perspectives – particularly for strategy meetings, executive retreats or workshops where clarity and discussion are key.
What group sizes are suitable for conferences at the castle?
Many castle hotels and manor houses are ideal for small to medium-sized groups. The atmosphere is particularly well suited to seminars, workshops or retreats that require intensive work and personal dialogue. The exact capacity varies depending on the venue.
Is there modern technology available for seminars and workshops?
Yes. Although the setting is historic, the conference hotels are equipped with state-of-the-art technical facilities – from presentation equipment to Wi-Fi. The technology remains discreetly in the background and supports productive work without detracting from the character of the venue.
Is it possible to book a castle exclusively for a conference?
Some properties offer the option of exclusive use, particularly for seminars or retreats lasting several days. Whether an exclusive booking is possible depends on the specific castle hotel and is arranged on a case-by-case basis.
Is it possible to stay overnight as part of a conference?
Yes. Many castle hotels combine conferences with accommodation. The opportunity to stay overnight in the castle fosters deeper interaction and turns a working day into a shared experience – ideal for workshops or strategy meetings lasting several days.
What catering is provided at a conference held at the castle?
Regional cuisine and seasonal produce form part of the concept at many venues. From coffee breaks and light lunch menus to group dinners, the catering is tailored to the occasion and the group.
