Burg Heimerzheim is a water castle at Kölnerstraße 1 in Swisttal-Heimerzheim, between Cologne and Bonn. It hosts conferences and seminars of 10 to 200 people, corporate events, weddings and private celebrations, with seated events of up to 200 guests. The castle has a festival hall, a courtyard, a modern pavilion and a historic main castle.
Seminars and company events
Conferences and seminars are offered for groups of 10 to 200. Larger events use the Burgpavillon, which has a panoramic view, and the Festhalle in the Vorburg, which opens on a Mediterranean inner courtyard. Rooms have modern conference technology, including a projector, a screen and a flipchart, and you may bring your own presentation equipment.
Conference packages are built around a minimum group of 20 people and combine the room, technology and catering. The Burghotel, a three-star superior hotel, offers special overnight rates for conference guests, and the castle's in-house caterer serves corporate events.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies take place in the Roter Salon, the red salon, with 80 seats and room for further guests standing. Ceremonies are held on Saturdays at 10, 11, 12 and 1 pm, and on weekdays at 9, 10 and 11 am. A champagne reception package is available for groups of at least 20. Each of the three main venues has its own outdoor area reserved for the guests of that event.
Rooms and capacities
The Vorburg, the outer castle on its own island, has a large festival hall and a Mediterranean courtyard and seats up to 200 guests at tables. This is the largest space. The Burgpavillon, a former bakehouse for the castle residents, is now a modern venue for up to 100 guests. The Hauptburg, the main castle, seats 100 in the historic dining room, the Esszimmer, and the Höfchen courtyard. In summer a tent covers the Höfchen, and the Esszimmer can become a dance floor.
Accommodation
The Burghotel is a three-star superior hotel. The castle's website links to a separate booking site, and the page read does not give a bedroom count, so ask for the number of rooms when you plan an overnight event.
Catering
Catering for private events is handled by the partner company Evation. Options include finger food, buffets, barbecues and multi-course menus.
History and setting
The castle is an imposing water castle, and the Burgpavillon was once the bakehouse of the residents.
