Schloss Kröchlendorff hosts exclusive weddings for up to 130 guests, company retreats and seminars, and rehearsal weekends for choirs and orchestras. The castle has six halls and rooms from 32 to 93 m², a church used for civil ceremonies, a large park and overnight accommodation for groups. It stands in Kröchlendorff, part of the municipality of Nordwestuckermark in the Uckermark, in the north of Brandenburg.
Seminars and company events
Companies come here for strategy sessions, retreats and team building in a quiet, secluded setting away from the city. Conference equipment is included in seminar bookings, and free WiFi runs on a VDSL line. A sun sail gives shade for work outdoors in the park. Because the castle also hosts school classes, youth groups and music ensembles, the house is used to residential stays where the whole group sleeps on site. The two 93 m² halls, the Grüner Saal and the Alter Tanzsaal, suit plenary sessions, while the Bibliothek and the Drei Fenster Zimmer work for breakout groups. Each offer is tailored to the group through the castle's request form.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings take place almost every weekend from May to October, and winter weddings are offered too. The castle is booked exclusively by one couple at a time, for up to 130 guests. Couples can use three restored festival halls, a buffet room, further rooms and the park. Civil ceremonies are held in the castle church, so the registry wedding and the celebration happen in one place. The castle works with a recommended team of wedding partners, provides planning tools in a guest area, and sets out costs in a transparent way.
Rooms and capacities
On the ground floor are the Roter Saal (66 m²), the Gartensaal (73 m²) and the Grüner Saal (93 m²). Upstairs are the Alter Tanzsaal (93 m²), the Bibliothek (47 m²) and the Drei Fenster Zimmer (32 m²). For music groups the house counts seven rehearsal rooms, a concert grand piano and two further pianos. Data sheets and floor plans for each hall are available from the castle.
Accommodation
Guests can stay on site in several types of lodging, which is what makes rehearsal weekends, school trips and two-day retreats possible. The castle publishes a room overview, but the total number of beds is not stated on its website, so group size should be confirmed when asking for an offer.
Catering
The castle has a dedicated wedding catering page and works with partner caterers from its wedding team. For seminar groups, meals are arranged as part of the individual offer.
History and setting
The castle is run by Schloss Kröchlendorff e.V., an association that keeps the house in use for weddings, music and group stays. Its address on Oskar-von-Arnim-Straße recalls the von Arnim family, long linked to the estate. The building stands in a large park in the rural Uckermark, one of the least densely populated parts of Germany, which explains the calm that retreat groups and orchestras come for.
Getting there
The address is Oskar-von-Arnim-Straße 1, 17291 Nordwestuckermark. The Uckermark lies north of Berlin, and most groups arrive by car or chartered coach. The nearest town is Prenzlau.
