This year, the Christmas market is once again inviting visitors under the motto "Unique", opening up a world to anyone who wants more than chocolate Santas, vanilla croissants and scented candles.
The "Unikat" Christmas market will not only enchant you with traditional and regional Christmas classics, but also with a wonderful manufactory concept. Here you will find what you have been looking for for a long time: specialties made with love. Manufacturers of individual treasures present their unique products in the lovingly designed huts and pagodas in the castle's inner courtyard and offer highlights for anyone looking for a personal, loving gift.

Traditional treats such as castle sausage, fresh kale, deliciously fragrant cinnamon buns, mulled wine and non-alcoholic punch for children and adults are also well catered for. The market will once again be accompanied by a varied musical program with live bands, regional musicians, choirs and ensembles, which will create a special Christmas atmosphere on all days.

A special highlight will once again be the two "Afterwork Christmas Markets" on Thursdays with a DJ and saxophonist. And on Sundays, the popular Bensberg puppeteer Gerd Pohl from Piccolo Puppenspiele will once again be performing three shows for the younger guests in Salon Goethe.
