Bäckaskog Slott can host conferences for up to 120 people in theatre layout, and weddings or parties for up to 400 guests in its summer Loge. The castle is a hotel with 63 bedrooms and 122 beds, a restaurant and a wedding chapel, near Fjälkinge in the Kristianstad area of Skåne, southern Sweden.
Seminars and company events
The castle describes its meeting rooms as modern and suited to both small and large groups. The largest holds up to 120 people in theatre-style seating. In summer, a large Loge is available for bigger groups and events. The conference offer is built around the hotel: meeting rooms, bedrooms and meals are booked together, and separate pages describe packages, rooms and restaurants. The castle also lists activities for conference groups, from calm to fast-paced.
The site does not give names, sizes or equipment for the individual meeting rooms, so ask for the plan and the room list when you request a date.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and parties use four spaces. Paradmatsalen takes up to 60 guests, Röda Salongen up to 80, Stallet up to 180, and Logen up to 400 in summer. Ceremonies can be held in the wedding chapel or in the castle park. Wedding dinners are served in the venue's rooms.
The conditions are specific. A wedding or party needs at least 60 guests and at least 30 hotel rooms booked, and no weddings are accepted from midsummer to mid-August. Weddings can otherwise be held in any season. The castle offers hotel rooms and breakfast with weddings and parties.
Rooms and capacities
The four party rooms scale from a private dining room to a large barn-style hall. Paradmatsalen at 60 and Röda Salongen at 80 suit a seated dinner for a smaller group. Stallet, at up to 180, is also used for the castle's seasonal events, such as the Christmas buffet. Logen is the largest, with space for up to 400 in summer.
Accommodation
The castle has 63 rooms with 122 beds. The accommodation and the meeting rooms are in the same property, which keeps a residential seminar simple to run: arrival, working sessions, dinner and overnight stay happen in one place.
Catering
The castle runs a restaurant, with booking by phone or email, and the Slottscafé serves waffles and soup. In the Stallet there are seasonal events, including a Christmas buffet, a goose dinner in November and a Father's Day breakfast buffet. The site does not list menus or catering packages for groups, so ask what is included in a conference package.
History and setting
The site traces the castle back to the 1200s. It was a Premonstratensian monastery, later a Danish estate, then headquarters of a Scanian regiment, and a royal summer residence. Today it is a hotel and a listed building, set in a park with a chapel. The address is Barumsvägen 255, Fjälkinge.
