Kaštieľ Krasňany can host company gatherings, team days, private dinners, family celebrations and weddings for up to 136 seated guests indoors, or up to 300 in a wedding tent in the park. The manor stands in the village of Krasňany, close to Žilina in northern Slovakia. For private events the whole estate is reserved for one group.
Seminars and company events
The manor welcomes team days, annual dinners, trainings and company parties. Its large hall, the former theatre hall, seats 136 guests at a banquet. For a quieter format the smaller salons suit working sessions or a seated meal. The park covers 3 hectares and can be set up for a team day: a volleyball or football pitch, a table tennis tournament, or a relaxed seating area with simple food. A guided tour of the manor and a tasting in the wine cellar can be added to the program.
The site is not a conference center. It lists no fixed seminar equipment or meeting packages, so organisers should confirm audiovisual needs, room layout and timing with the team when they send a request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main activity. The manor has a chapel for the ceremony, a park with a pond for photographs and outdoor receptions, and indoor halls for the meal. During a wedding the whole manor and park are reserved for the couple and their guests, so nobody else is on site. The owners do not work with fixed packages: each wedding is arranged to the couple's wishes, within what the manor and its partner businesses can provide. Guests may bring their own alcoholic drinks and no corkage fee is charged. Seating plans for round or rectangular tables can be downloaded from the website, and an availability calendar shows open dates.
Rooms and capacities
The large hall seats 136 for a banquet and is described as suitable for weddings of 50 guests and more. The small hall takes up to 40 people and suits small weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations. The café, with its historic interior and a door to the courtyard, takes up to 30 guests. The wedding tent in the park gives room for up to 300 guests. The historic dining room, full of antiques, serves smaller meals, and the manor also has a weapons hall and a wine cellar that guests can visit.
Accommodation
The manor has 10 renovated apartments with 2 to 6 beds each, for 35 people in total. Each has its own modern bathroom and is furnished with period pieces. Thick walls keep the rooms quiet. The manor does not operate as a hotel and does not serve meals as part of the stay, so breakfast and other meals are arranged through the events kitchen when an event is booked.
Catering
The kitchen was fully rebuilt in 2020. A team of cooks and waiters prepares the meals, with local suppliers where possible. A menu is published on the website. Because the kitchen works for events, catering is part of the booking, and guests can bring their own drinks.
History and setting
The manor belonged to the Pongrácz family. In 1561 the family rebuilt an older late Gothic manor house into a Renaissance residence, with a moat and a drawbridge whose remains survive at the entrance portal. A fire in 1654 led to a large reconstruction, and the building today is made of two late Renaissance wings joined by a connecting wing. A chapel was added at the end of the 19th century. The manor is privately owned and is being restored, with period furniture placed inside.
Getting there
Krasňany is a village near Žilina, at Krasňany 21, 013 01. The website gives no train or airport details, so organisers should ask the team for access advice and parking for coaches.
