Schloss Sandizell hosts civil and church weddings, family and company celebrations, conferences, workshops and seminars, as well as photo and film shoots. Indoor spaces take 25 to 60 guests, the late Baroque church seats 150, and the castle park holds up to 400 at a seated meal or 1,000 in rows. The moated castle stands in the village of Sandizell, part of Schrobenhausen in Upper Bavaria, about one hour from Munich.
Seminars and company events
The castle offers its rooms for conferences, workshops and seminars, and its team helps with organizing the event. Company celebrations such as summer parties, team days and Christmas parties can use a salon, the rustic Rittersaal, the inner courtyard or, for exclusive use, the whole building. The three salons on the second floor, of 70, 55 and 30 square meters, can be used one at a time or together for up to 45 people, which suits a board meeting or a small seminar. Bookings go through the castle office.
Weddings and receptions
Civil ceremonies can be requested and booked through the castle office. Church weddings take place in the Asamkirche St. Peter, which seats 150 in rows and opens directly onto the park; they are arranged with the parish office of Langenmosen. The castle chapel, on the first floor, suits christenings and small church weddings. Champagne receptions can be held in the inner courtyard, and the vaulted Vestibül serves as the dance hall for wedding parties.
Rooms and capacities
The Vestibül, on the ground floor, is a three-aisled hall of 100 square meters with cross vaults, reached over the bridge and through the courtyard, for up to 60. The inner courtyard covers about 500 square meters and takes up to 60, with party tents possible. The Red, Pink and Blue salons keep their 18th- and 19th-century decoration and take up to 45. The chapel measures 35 square meters and keeps a carved Rococo altar. The castle park, with a pond and a small neo-Gothic tea house, takes 1,000 in rows or 400 at a seated meal for open-air events, festivals and concerts. Most spaces are used from May to September, the salons from April to October.

Three spacious residential units in the castle can house guests, a film crew or the hosts of an event. For larger groups, the castle points to a country hotel nearby with a grill room and a sauna.
History and setting

The church of St. Peter, next to the park, is late Baroque with Rococo elements and a high altar by Egid Quirin Asam, which gives it its local name, the Asamkirche. Besides private events, the rooms host concerts, readings and exhibitions, and the castle also works as a base for photo and film productions, indoors and outdoors.
