Burg Windeck in Bühl, in the Baden wine country, can host workshops, management seminars and product presentations in three meeting rooms for 8 to 50 people. For parties, the castle offers a panorama restaurant with 90 seats, a tavern with 50 seats and two terraces that seat 70 and 50.
Seminars and company events
The castle has three meeting rooms, and all of them have daylight through outside windows. The Bergfriedsaal covers 76 square meters and holds about 50 people. The Galerie "Pferdestall" covers 80 square meters and is set for about 20. The Senator-Dr.-Manfred-Fischer-Stube is the smallest room, 27 square meters for about 8 people, which suits a board meeting or a small working group.
Every room is equipped with a projector, a screen, flipcharts, a facilitator case and pinboards. Breakout rooms are available for group work. The castle describes its meeting offer as a mix of historic walls and modern technology, and it provides a conference folder with details on request.
For a company party, the two restaurants and the terraces can be used. The castle presents itself as a setting for family celebrations, company parties and other events, with its own kitchen and service.
Weddings and receptions
The official site mentions family celebrations and company parties but does not describe a wedding offer. Organisers planning a private reception should ask the castle which areas can be reserved on their date and for how many guests.
Rooms and capacities
The Panorama Restaurant seats 90 and looks toward Strasbourg Minster and the Vosges. The Burgstube seats 50 in a rustic, medieval setting. In summer, two terraces extend the offer: the Burghof Terrace seats 70 and the Bergfried Terrace seats 50, both shaded by plane trees with a view over the Black Forest and the Rhine valley.
For meetings, the three rooms listed above give a range from 8 to 50 people. The largest event figure the site states is the 90 seats of the Panorama Restaurant.
Accommodation
Burg Windeck is a hotel as well as a restaurant, and its website has a section for guest rooms. The pages we read do not state how many bedrooms there are, so confirm the number with the castle before planning a residential seminar.
Catering
The kitchen is in-house. The Panorama Restaurant serves refined dishes, the Burgstube offers rustic cooking and simple snacks, and a patisserie prepares cakes for the afternoon buffet. The site also lists a tasting room. The restaurants serve lunch from 12:00 to 13:30 and dinner from 18:00 to 20:30, by reservation, and are open Monday to Saturday from noon to 11 p.m. and on Sunday until 4:30 p.m.
History and setting
The castle stands above the village of Kappelwindeck, on a ridge between the Rhine valley and the Black Forest. Its old walls still shape the meeting rooms and the tavern, and the terraces face the sunset.
Getting there
The address is Kappelwindeckstraße 104, 77815 Bühl, Baden. Bühl lies between Baden-Baden and Offenburg, and on clear days the view from the restaurant reaches Strasbourg.
