Burg zu Hagen offers an event hall for about 100 people, a chapel for wedding ceremonies, a civil registry room and a vaulted cellar for receptions. The castle is in Hagen im Bremischen, Lower Saxony, and is run by a local cultural and heritage association, the Kultur- und Heimatverein Burg zu Hagen im Bremischen. It is a small, association-run venue, so expect a personal contact rather than a hotel-style sales team.
Seminars and company events
The event hall is on the upper floor, separated from the chapel by a large gallery. The site gives its capacity as about 100 people. The room has many windows for daylight, good acoustics and good lighting options. The association lists standard conference technology, including a projector and a screen, which makes the hall suitable for presentations, talks and small meetings. Seating layouts and dimensions are not published, so ask for a plan when you request a date. The hall is also the stage for the castle's own programme of readings, concerts, cabaret and film evenings, so check that your date does not collide with it.
Weddings and receptions
The chapel on the upper floor is described as the centerpiece of the building and has wall paintings in grisaille from the 16th century. It can be used for wedding ceremonies. On the ground floor, a civil registry room with its own entrance holds civil ceremonies for the municipalities of Hagen im Bremischen and Beverstedt, with room for up to 12 guests. Saturday ceremonies are possible. For the reception, the vaulted cellar is presented as a good fit for weddings and other special occasions. The association also describes the cellar as the place where guests meet artists for a glass of wine after evening events.

Accommodation
The castle has no bedrooms. The association notes that overnight stays are available in the surrounding area for events lasting several days, so plan hotel or guesthouse rooms for guests who travel.
Catering
The pages we read do not describe a catering service. The cellar is linked to wine and conversation after events, and a coffee photo appears on its page. Ask the association whether you must bring your own caterer and which rules apply.
History and setting
The castle is an old building with a chapel, a gallery and a vaulted cellar, in the village of Hagen im Bremischen. The association also looks after the nearby Hagener Königsmoor, a moorland area used for walks and guided tours, which can serve as a leisure programme for a group.
Getting there
Burg zu Hagen is in Hagen im Bremischen. The pages we read give no train or bus details. The office is open Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and Friday to Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., which is the best time to ask about access and parking.
