Schloss Heynitz in Nossen, Saxony, rents three rooms for day events: a chapel hall for up to 39 people, a seminar room for up to 20 and a meeting room for up to 8. Civil wedding ceremonies can also be held in the chapel hall. The estate is a small, lived-in castle complex, so it suits working days, workshops and intimate ceremonies rather than large receptions.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the rooms as spaces for day events. The Gelber Saal measures about 60 square meters and is offered for seminars, discussion groups, yoga and dance, for up to 20 people. The Erkerzimmer, about 40 square meters, is described as a meeting room for a maximum of 8 people. The Kapellensaal, about 70 square meters, takes up to 39 people and is used for meetings, music and yoga as well as ceremonies.
A team of 8 can work in the Erkerzimmer, a group of 20 can use the Gelber Saal, and a larger session of up to 39 fits in the Kapellensaal. Because the rooms are rented by the day, an organiser planning a longer program would need to arrange overnight stays elsewhere.
Weddings and receptions
The Kapellensaal is set up for civil wedding ceremonies. The venue states that its hire for a ceremony includes floral decoration, a sound system, furniture and the items needed for the legal ceremony. Bookings for weddings go through the registry office of Nossen, whose contact details are given on the official page. The site does not describe a banquet or reception offer, so a celebration meal would be organised separately. The Erkerzimmer can also serve as a dining room for up to 20 people.

Accommodation
The castle complex includes one holiday apartment. For groups, this is a small addition and not a conference hotel, so most teams will look for beds in Nossen or the surrounding area.
History and setting
Heynitz sits above the Triebisch valley. Today the complex is a home and a meeting place for people interested in culture, nature conservation and organic farming. It hosts a NABU nature conservation station, an organic farming museum and an artist's studio, and its landscaped park is known for summer concerts and events. A page on the official site covers the building history, and guided tours are offered. The site recommends walking to Heynitz, and several circular walking routes start from the castle.
Getting there
The castle administration is at Heynitz 8-10, 01683 Nossen. The official site has an access page and a page on catering options nearby; check both when planning meals for a group.
