Schloss Krastowitz can be booked for seminars, conferences, lectures, concerts and larger events. The castle stands in a green setting a few minutes from the centre of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in Carinthia. Its air-conditioned ballroom, the Festsaal, measures 188 sqm and is listed for up to 200 people in theatre seating. Four seminar rooms complete the offer, and guests can stay overnight in the house.
Seminars and company events
The house has worked as an education centre for almost 70 years, starting with training courses for rural youth in the 1950s. Today it runs courses, workshops and conferences, and it markets itself as a place to meet, learn and eat well. After a modernization, it presents itself as a modern venue for seminars, conferences and events.
The Festsaal is equipped for professional sessions. It has a large screen with projector, a lectern, standing and handheld microphones, headsets, free WiFi and a connected technical room. A streaming and hybrid setup with four fixed cameras lets you broadcast a session or include remote participants. For panel talks or presentations, a stage with a podium can be installed.
The house also publishes package offers for seminars and conferences, and a downloadable price list for rooms and for seminar rooms. Requests go through the room inquiry buttons on the site.
Weddings and receptions
The official event pages do not mention weddings. They describe concerts, readings, cabaret evenings, exhibitions, anniversaries and club events. The Festsaal, the restaurant and the grounds around the castle can host larger events, and the historic dining room of the castle can be used for smaller ones. The park, with its pond and wide lawns, suits receptions held outdoors.
Rooms and capacities
The official capacity table covers the Festsaal and four seminar rooms named S, M, L and XL. The Festsaal measures 188 sqm and takes 200 people in theatre seating or 90 at banquet tables. The four seminar rooms measure 39, 59, 95 and 100 sqm. The table also lists parliament, U-shape, double U-shape and square layouts, but its columns are hard to match to individual rooms in the text available, so confirm the figure for your layout and room before you plan.
The Festsaal can take a stage with a podium. The historic dining room serves smaller events. The seminar rooms are the format for working sessions.
Accommodation
Overnight stays are possible on site. A new hotel wing, built in timber frame construction and flooded with daylight, extends the castle. The official site has a rooms page and a reservation inquiry for the hotel. The number of bedrooms is not given in the pages read, so ask the house for it when you plan a residential seminar.
Catering
The in-house kitchen cooks with a regional focus, and the house has a restaurant. The site lists culinary offers and packages, so ask which package fits your format.
History and setting
The house has been a centre for education, meeting and inspiration for almost 70 years. It sits in the green, close to the city, with a park, a pond and large lawns, and it keeps a historic dining room in the castle.
