Forsthaus am Schloss Sommerswalde takes team days, workshops, seminars, family celebrations and weddings for up to 90 guests, from a dinner for two to a full party. The country restaurant has an event barn, a Remise and a garden of almost 10,000 m² at Sommerswalde, part of Oberkrämer in Brandenburg, about 30 minutes from Berlin.
Seminars and company events
The house presents itself for team events in the countryside. Talks, seminars and workshops take place in the Eventscheune or the Remise, and the restaurant itself can host a workshop. Seating is set to the format: plenary rows, a circle of chairs or long tables. Group activities can be built into the day, such as a barbecue buffet, private cooking with the head chef, a wine tasting or a company olympiad in the garden. Meeting packages for team days in the green are available as a separate document, along with ideas for the olympiad.
Weddings and receptions
The Forsthaus is an official branch of the Hennigsdorf registry office, so a civil ceremony can take place on site and the reception follows without moving guests. Birthdays, anniversaries, school-start parties and other family celebrations take place here too, with seating, layout and menu planned with the team for each event.
Rooms and capacities
Private celebrations are possible for up to 90 guests. The event spaces are the Eventscheune, the event barn, the Remise and the restaurant, which is step-free. Outside, the garden of almost 10,000 m² includes an orchard meadow and a terrace. The venue does not publish a capacity for each room, so the layout for a given headcount should be confirmed with the team.
Accommodation
The house rents out three apartments: two in the Forsthaus itself and one in the barn. They suit a couple, a speaker or a few guests, while larger groups stay in hotels in the area.
Catering
The kitchen works with regional products, such as geese from Kremmen and fresh asparagus in season, and marinates and smokes its own fish and meat. Menus follow the seasons. The public events held through the year, from summer breakfast buffets and barn parties with buffet to a murder mystery dinner and a goose menu in November, show the range the team can serve for private groups. The restaurant is open from Thursday to Sunday and on public holidays.
History and setting
The house takes its name from Schloss Sommerswalde and sits in a green, rural setting away from the city. Dogs are welcome. The mix of a restaurant kitchen, a barn and a large garden lets a single event move from a ceremony to a long table outdoors and then to a party in the barn.
Getting there
The address is Sommerswalde 4-5, OT Schwante-Sommerswalde, 16727 Oberkrämer, north-west of Berlin. The venue gives a drive of about 30 minutes from Berlin. Berlin Brandenburg Airport is the nearest major airport.
