Schloss Burgbrohl hosts seminars, board meetings and weddings for groups of up to 70, with hotel rooms, four restaurants and a spa on the grounds. The baroque castle stands on a hill above the village of Burgbrohl in the Brohl valley, in the volcanic Eifel near the Middle Rhine.
Seminars and company events
Five meeting rooms take groups from 6 to 70. All have free Wi-Fi, and the standard kit includes a projector or flat screen, a flip chart, a pinboard, a moderation case, notepads, a Webex station and a smart flipchart. The Herrenzimmer and the Turmzimmer have Cisco Webex video conferencing and can stream live. Four day packages, named Burgfräulein, Burggraf, Herzog and Schlossherr, combine coffee breaks, lunch, dinner and a candy bar, with coffee, herbal tea and water included throughout. Overnight event guests can use the Castellum SPA.
Weddings and receptions
The Schloss Villa in the park holds a ceremony room registered with the Brohltal registry office, so civil and non-religious ceremonies take place on site, including for couples from outside the municipality. The room seats up to 70 in rows and has a large screen and a live-stream option. The villa, with over 100 m² on two floors, can be hired exclusively. The reception can move to the foyer, the terrace or the park. Catering ranges from finger food, barbecue and buffet to a flying dinner or a gala menu. A bridal suite and a castle apartment of over 50 m² are available for the couple, and from November to March the castle offers winter weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The Herrenzimmer (about 100 m², 3.30 m ceilings) seats 70 in rows, 40 parliament-style or 30 in a U. The Turmzimmer has the same size and layouts. The Tagungsraum Schloss (54 m²) takes up to 36 and opens onto its own terrace. The Tagungsraum Remise (36 m²) seats up to 16 and has a ceiling projector and a terrace facing the greenery. The Bibliothek (about 29 m²) has a stone circle of six seats for closed-door talks.
Accommodation
Guest rooms are spread across the main castle, the spa house, the Bürgerhäuser and the Schloss Villa. The Castellum SPA has an outdoor sauna, an infrared cabin, a rooftop terrace with quiet zones, a fitness area and treatments.
Catering
Four dining venues serve events: the Schloss Schenke, the restaurant Von Brule, the historic wine cellar and the castle terrace. The Wintergarten, the Pferdestall and the park are also used for receptions.
History and setting
The castle is first recorded in 1093 and was held by the lords of Brule for nearly 400 years. French troops burned it in 1689, and Caspar Franz Edmund von Bourscheidt rebuilt it from 1710 as a baroque residence in landscaped grounds. It later housed a religious community until the 1960s. The artist Gottfried Helnwein bought and restored it in 1985, and in 2018 the Heuft family, entrepreneurs from Burgbrohl, took it over.
Getting there
The castle is at Auf der Burg 1, 56659 Burgbrohl. Parking at the top is limited, with two free lots below the castle. Koblenz, Bonn, Cologne and Düsseldorf are all within driving range.
