Lingnerschloss in Dresden-Loschwitz rents rooms for seminars, lectures, receptions and civil weddings. The largest halls seat 140 guests in concert layout, and the smaller salons suit workshops of 20 to 40 people. The castle stands on the Elbe slope at Bautzner Straße 132, in the east of Dresden.
Seminars and company events
Room rental is handled by the Förderverein Lingnerschloss e.V., which accepts requests for the whole of 2027. Rooms can be set up as concert, gala, parliament, block, carré or E-shape layouts. Standard equipment depends on the room and includes a projector with screen, a microphone system, a lectern, a flipchart and a pinboard. Further conference technology can be booked per day through the technology provider named on the site, from a presentation package to stage platforms and three-phase power. The grand piano may only be played by trained pianists. The castle also runs a public programme of lectures, concerts and film screenings, so ask about dates early.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies take place in the restored Kinosaal on the upper floor, for up to 58 guests. The floor is reachable without steps. Ceremony dates are reserved only through the Dresden registry office. After the ceremony, a sparkling wine reception can be held on the roof platform, and by arrangement on the north or south balcony or in front of the castle entrance.

History and setting
The castle was built between 1850 and 1853 for the Prussian noble family von Stockhausen. It is the middle one of three castles on the Loschwitz hillside. It carries the name of Karl August Lingner, an honorary citizen of Dresden who lived here from 1908 to 1916 and left the estate to the city. The Förderverein runs the house today, and counted 202 events and rental agreements in 2025.
Getting there
The castle is at Bautzner Straße 132, 01099 Dresden-Loschwitz.
