Burg Pyrmont, a medieval castle at Roes in the Eifel, hosts weddings, company parties, day seminars and conferences. The banquet hall takes up to 140 guests, the garden room takes 40 to 120 and is the room the castle recommends for trainings and product presentations, and the tournament meadow outdoors has room for more than 150. Guests who stay overnight are housed in the castle's own rooms, which only the organizer can book.
Seminars and company events
The castle describes the Gartensaal as especially suited to trainings, conferences and product presentations. It measures 150 square meters, takes 40 to 120 people and has large window fronts, so the room is bright and works well for day events. A large kitchen with an open buffet area is attached, which makes a smaller event easy to run.
Company parties and day seminars are both on the offer list, and the grounds can host team-building and incentive events.
Weddings and receptions
Burg Pyrmont presents itself as a wedding castle, with more than 10 years of experience. Civil ceremonies take place in the Rittersaal, which has 40 seats and room for 12 more standing guests, 52 in all. Church or free ceremonies can be held in the chestnut garden for up to 70 people, with a covered fallback in the Spezerey, the Valentinsgewölbe or the Rittersaal. The rose garden has two areas, one for up to 20 guests in the inner courtyard and one for up to 80 above the Valentinsgewölbe.
For the party, the Festsaal, the Gartensaal or the Alte Küche can be chosen depending on the guest count. In summer the Festsaal can only be booked as part of the castle's large wedding package. The tournament meadow suits an open-air ceremony and celebration, with a wooden knight's castle, a sturdy party tent, restrooms and about 1,000 square meters of lawn, for more than 150 people.
Rooms and capacities
The Festsaal, the partly roofed and glazed inner courtyard for the buffet and the gallery run together into an event area of more than 300 square meters, with room for up to 140 people. The Gartensaal holds 40 to 120 people on 150 square meters. In the upper castle, the Rittersaal has a heavy table made of beams 9 meters long and 40 chairs. The Alte Küche, with its vaulted pantry, suits family parties and small weddings.
Accommodation
Only the organizer of a booked event can reserve rooms, and the castle gives the organizer first option before offering rooms to other guests. The upper castle sleeps up to 20 guests and is booked as a package. Further rooms are in the gatehouse and in the Kutscherhaus, Sattelkammer and Gartenhaus. These three are rented to others only from Monday to Friday, since weekends go first to wedding couples. Check-in is normally between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., and rooms must be vacated by 11:00 a.m.
Catering
On-site catering comes from the partner Querbeet Catering & Events, which prepares menus in the castle. Organizers can also propose a caterer of their choice. Vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options are listed.
History and setting
Burg Pyrmont was first mentioned in 1225, and the keep, more than 800 years old, still dominates the complex. The castle was rebuilt from 1963 to 1967 by the architects Helmut Hentrich and Hubert Petschnigg and served for decades as a think tank and guesthouse for the Düsseldorf firm HPP.
