The region is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, located an hour away from Vienna. You can reach Weinviertel from Vienna within an hour by car and within one and a half hours by train.

It’s a beautiful place where stress and noise have no place, and tranquility reigns supreme.

Ceremony

The castle is licensed to hold legal weddings so that you can have a legally-binding ceremony anywhere in the venue. Have a fairytale wedding inside the castle’s garden hall that evokes history through baroque interiors and ancient furnishing.

The outdoor spaces are stunning and suitable for intimate ceremonies of up to thirty persons. The garden is spacious for your small group and offers views of the endless vineyards for your whole wedding party. The inner courtyard is also available, with its magical ambiance surrounded by the castle walls covered in crawling greenery.

A church is two minutes from the venue if you prefer a Catholic ceremony inside a religious building.

Reception

After tying the knot, treat yourselves and your guests to a lovely drinks reception and aperitifs outside, where you can all take in the view and smell the fresh air of Weinviertel.

Have an intimate dinner at the beautiful inner courtyard or in the garden, where the magical ambiance continues. There are indoor options, too, should you prefer an enclosed and weather-proof venue for your wedding dinner. The salon on the castle’s second floor is a fantastic option for intimate celebrations.

The castle offers non-stop celebration so you can have the night of your life with your dearest family and friends. Dance, sing, and party until three in the morning, and no one will stop you. Just remember that after three o'clock, the party should only be at room volume.

Note that you must book a caterer separately for your wedding dinner.
