The St. Nicholas Market invites you to indulgence & lightness - stroll around the historic castle grounds in a pre-Christmas atmosphere and enjoy perhaps the first mulled wine of the year.
Long-standing and new exhibitors present their products and a large selection of Christmas decorations in festively decorated huts and pagodas. Here you will not only find individual Christmas gift ideas for the whole family, but also inspiration from the interior, decoration and food sectors.

The outer castle is especially dedicated to the youngest visitors. In addition to the traditional children's chain carousel, Santa Claus will once again be on hand to make children's eyes light up. The supporting program will delight with fairy-tale performances and provide variety for young and old, while the wonderful aroma of hot mulled wine and punch fills the cold air.
