Schloss Hotel Holzrichter hosts weddings with a civil ceremony on site, christenings, communions, family parties, seminars and company dinners, with room for up to 250 guests in the house. Six halls can be combined into larger spaces, the largest taking 150 people in rows or 80 at round tables, and a 2,000-square-meter castle garden and two sun terraces extend events outdoors. The hotel stands at Hohenlimburger Straße 15 in the hamlet of Veserde, in Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde, in the Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Seminars and company events
The hotel takes meetings and conferences with individual service. Every hall has daylight, blackout curtains and suitable lighting, and Wi-Fi of up to 400 Mbit/s is free. A wall system lets the team make rooms larger or smaller to fit the group. Set-up and take-down times may be charged. The König-Ludwig-Saal, at 110 square meters, takes 50 in rows or 45 in a classroom layout, a size that suits a training day or a management meeting.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel has its own hall for civil ceremonies, with a view over the meadows and forests of the Sauerland, so the ceremony, reception and dinner can all take place in one house. Decoration and how it is fixed are agreed with the banquet team in advance. Depending on the weather, the two sun terraces can be part of the celebration.
Rooms and capacities
The Schlossstube, 40 square meters, takes 20 in rows and 16 at round tables. The Holzrichtersaal, 63 square meters, takes 25 in rows and 24 at round tables.

Accommodation
The castle-style conversion begun in 2000 created 24 hotel rooms, in four categories named Herzog, Kronprinz, Kurfürst and Fürstensuite. The spa, fully modernized in 2015, includes a sauna, a steam bath, a sanarium, an experience shower and a whirlpool.
Catering
The restaurant works mainly with fresh regional produce and game from nearby hunting grounds, and runs a seasonal menu, a wine list and themed evenings. A newly built wine cellar hosts tastings.
History and setting
Karl Holzrichter opened a tavern in his farmhouse in 1895. A new inn followed in 1903, and his son Julius added a large hall for celebrations in 1909. The family added a guesthouse after the war and expanded in 1975 to serve more than 200 guests at once. The conversion into a castle-style hotel began in 2000, with original wood paneling, and Austrian carpenters renovated the Schlossstube in 2006. Katharina Holzrichter became managing director in 1999, and with her husband Thomas she took over the hotel in 2011. A sun terrace with a barbecue area followed in 2014.
Getting there
The address is Hohenlimburger Straße 15, 58769 Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde. The hotel has a charging station for electric cars.
