Schloss Neuenburg in Freyburg (Unstrut), Saxony-Anhalt, rents historic rooms for company events, wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions. Seating runs from 40 in the Jagdzimmer (the former hunting room) and the upper chapel to 80 in the Festsaal and 100 in part of the castle courtyard. The castle belongs to the Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt and presents itself as the largest castle of the Thuringian landgraves.
Seminars and company events
Private and corporate clients can rent the Jagdzimmer, the Festsaal and parts of the large courtyard for meetings, dinners and other gatherings. The castle publishes no seat count per layout for business use, so give the format and the head count when you ask, and the team will answer for your date. Rooms are booked through an online portal or by direct request, and the castle recommends a viewing appointment before you decide. After your request you receive a written order confirmation as a PDF by email within a week. The castle is also a museum site, which means a long program can include a visit of the wine museum or the clock exhibition between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
For a civil ceremony you can rent the Jagdzimmer (40 seats), the Festsaal (80 seats) or part of the courtyard (100 seats). Check the date with the registry office of Freyburg first, then with the castle. Church weddings, Protestant or Catholic, take place on the upper floor of the late Romanesque double chapel, which seats 40. Free ceremonies are also possible. A sparkling wine reception can be held in the wine museum. The wedding meal takes place in the Festsaal for up to 80 seated guests, with the Jagdzimmer next door as a buffet room. Tables can be long, comb-shaped or U-shaped rectangles, or round banquet tables. Chairs are padded armchairs, and chair covers can be added on request. Both rooms are heated and usable all year. Smoking is not allowed inside. Between the afternoon coffee and the evening meal, a guided castle tour can fill the gap, and children can use the castle's children's rooms during that tour. The invoice is sent by post after the wedding.

Accommodation
Two holiday apartments can be rented on the castle grounds above the Brunnenhof, including the Jägerhaus. For larger parties the castle points to the neighboring wine-estate hotels Weinberghotel Edelacker and Hotel Rebschule. The tourist office of Freyburg lists further hotels, apartments and guesthouses in the town.
Catering
The castle does not name an in-house caterer. It arranges service providers on request, from decoration and flowers to food and entertainment, and recommends the wedding network Priceless Moments for catering. Its own site shows that the catering lease is currently being tendered, so ask who serves on your date.
History and setting
Neuenburg stands above Freyburg, a small wine town on the Unstrut. The complex combines a museum, a double chapel from the late Romanesque period, a wine museum and a clock exhibition with the halls and courtyard that can be hired.
