Burg Blomendal in Bremen-Blumenthal can be rented for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, company parties and cultural events. The Rittersaal takes up to 80 people, the rustic Scheune up to 40, and the castle grounds serve for receptions and summer gatherings. The official site describes it as the only surviving castle in Bremen.
Seminars and company events
The castle lists company parties among its uses, so it suits a summer party, a team celebration, an anniversary of the firm or a client evening for a group of up to 80. The site does not present the castle as a seminar venue and gives no equipment list, no meeting layouts and no daytime package. A day of workshops is therefore a question to put to the owners before you plan around it: projection, sound, Wi-Fi, heating in cold months and the hours the rooms can be used.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings come first in the list of events the castle hosts. The Rittersaal is described as festive and bright, with room for up to 80 guests, which fits a banquet or a reception with dancing for a mid-sized wedding. The Scheune, a barn for up to 40 guests, can host a smaller dinner or a second room for a part of the party. The grounds are laid out like a park, and the site recommends them for receptions and photographs. The page does not say whether civil or church ceremonies can be held on site, so couples should check that point first.
Rooms and capacities
Three spaces are offered:
The Rittersaal, for up to 80 people, described as festive and bright.
The Scheune, for up to 40 guests, described as rustic and cozy.
The castle grounds, a park-like area for receptions, photos and relaxed summer events. No capacity is given for the grounds.
Tables, chairs and cleaning are included in the rental. The page gives no seating plans, so ask for the layouts the owners have tested for your format.
Catering
The tenant arranges catering, decoration and music. There is no in-house restaurant tied to the rental on the page, which leaves you free to choose a caterer and a band. Ask about kitchen access, the rules on outside caterers, glass and noise, and the closing time of an evening event.
History and setting
The site presents Burg Blomendal as the only castle still standing in Bremen. It lies in Blumenthal, in the north of the city, and the page says it is easy to reach from Schwanewede, Ritterhude, Osterholz-Scharmbeck and the Wesermarsch. Pages on the site cover the age of the castle, the war damage and its present use, which are worth reading before a visit.
Getting there
The castle is in the Blumenthal district of Bremen. The site gives no street address, station or parking details, so ask for these when you send your request. A viewing appointment can be booked directly, and the owners accept a non-binding inquiry by email. Visit before you commit, especially if you plan a dinner with guests arriving by coach or if some of them need step-free access.
