Reifferscheid Castle is around 900 years old, small but beautiful and very romantic. It towers high above the valley and offers a picturesque, fairytale-like setting for a contemplative Christmas market, which has now become an absolute insider tip. If you like ancient castle romance, the fabulously illuminated castle in its Christmas garb offers you an atmospheric Christmas experience. Your pre-Christmas mulled wine trip should definitely take you here, as the castle opens its historic gates for you on the first weekend of Advent. A dreamlike setting guarantees nostalgic Christmas feelings.

The Christmas stalls also offer unique antiques, artistic one-offs and rarities, handcrafted treasures and fantastic Christmas decorations. All accompanied by contemplative melodies played by tower and horn players, youth music groups and alphorn and brass bands. And for children, Santa Claus even comes by to tell stories and give presents. The Christmas story is also told in a living nativity scene. In the ancient castle cellar, craftsmen present their centuries-old skills.
