Schloss Aschhausen in the Hohenlohe region of Baden-Württemberg offers four spaces for family and company events: weddings, christenings, birthdays, seminars and staff parties. The largest, a timber-framed granary, takes about 200 people. The others hold about 60, 40 and 40. The castle goes back to the 13th century and stands among fields and woods in the village of Aschhausen, part of Schöntal.
Seminars and company events
The estate offers meetings and staff parties as well as private celebrations. The concert and seminar room in the old castle seats about 60 people. It has old stucco ceilings and an 18th century atmosphere, and the site describes it as suited to concerts, talks and seminars.

The Malzkeller, a rustic cellar in the gate arch with a bar, benches and tables, is suited to a smaller team event for about 40. The site gives no equipment list for presentations, so ask the owners what is available.
