Seminars and company events
The estate offers a setting for private and business occasions, from a lunch, a dinner, a tour or a game program to a company presentation, a meeting or a large national event. Four spaces are listed for business use. The castle itself offers several rooms with different possibilities. The squash hall, described as the oldest in the Netherlands and located just outside the garden walls, suits presentations or meetings of up to 50 people. The orangery, with an adjoining terrace in the gardens, is available from June to September. The plankier, behind the carriage house, is a fourth space. For larger events, outdoor locations such as the avenue in front of the castle or the castle meadow on Middachterallee are discussed case by case. A meeting or company presentation can be combined with a tour, a drink or a festive lunch or dinner.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies take place in the Zaal of the castle, reached via the staircase hall, for up to 60 guests. The marriage can be performed by an official from the municipality of Rheden or by an official of your own choosing. Flowers and a host to receive guests are provided. A wedding photo shoot is possible in the gardens, but photographs are not allowed inside the castle, so there is no bad-weather alternative. From June to September, the orangery can be used for cutting the cake and a toast. A wedding dinner for up to 60 can be reserved in the bodenkamer of the castle. For a party, the estate asks you to get in touch directly.
