Business events are its main offer: meetings, courses, team building, trade fairs, summer parties and company Christmas lunches.
Seminars and company events
The castle presents itself first as a conference venue. Its meeting offer covers meetings, conferences, courses and further training, and team building, and each organiser is given a named contact person. The event side adds company parties, summer parties, trade fairs and Christmas lunches for staff. A concert hall in the renovated barn, the Slotsladen, also stages ticketed shows, which shows that the outbuildings can take a large audience as well as the main house.
