Schloss Lautrach hosts seminars, training days and incentives in 14 meeting rooms for 2 to 70 people each, and weddings with dinner for up to 120 guests. The four-star hotel occupies an 18th-century castle at Schloßstraße 1 in Lautrach, in the Unterallgäu district of Bavaria, and sleeps up to 135 guests in 80 bedrooms.
Seminars and company events
The castle markets itself first as a conference hotel and appears in the Top 250 Germany list of conference hotels for 2025 and 2026. Packages run by the half day or full day, with or without coffee breaks and overnight stays, and an events team plans each program. Incentive options include archery in the park, a cheese-making session and guided walks through the grounds. A wellness area with a wooden sauna and a relaxation room gives delegates a break between sessions. The hotel also holds the Umwelt Plus Klimapakt Bayern environmental label.
Weddings and receptions
Couples choose between four ceremony settings: the castle park, the Rococo theater, the library and the castle chapel. Civil, church and non-religious ceremonies are possible, with civil and church appointments arranged directly with the registry office or parish. Aperitifs and coffee are served on the terrace above the park, the evening takes place in the historic castle hall, and the Schlossrestaurant seats up to 120 for the wedding dinner. A Deluxe room is kept for the couple.
Rooms and capacities
The 14 meeting rooms range from 30 to 90 m², are filled with daylight and can be darkened. The largest, Joseph Deybach, covers 90 m² for up to 70 people. Roth von Schreckenstein and Karl von Frisch each offer 80 m² for 56. Graf von Zeppelin and the Anschütz-Kaempfe library offer 70 m² for 36, and Arnold Sommerfeld 60 m² for 32. Seven smaller rooms take 8 to 16 for workshops and board meetings. The Rococo theater holds 76. Equipment includes projectors, screens, flip charts, microphones and internet, and seating can be arranged to suit each format.
Accommodation
The hotel has 80 rooms, 25 singles and 55 doubles, for up to 135 overnight guests, so a full seminar group or wedding party can stay on site.
Catering
The Schlossrestaurant cooks regional, seasonal food, with vegetarian, vegan, allergy-friendly and children's options. The castle also runs a terrace, a beer room and a wine room, and a dedicated conference catering service handles breaks and lunches.
History and setting
Prince-Abbot Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein of Kempten had the castle built in 1781, in three years, as a provostry and hunting lodge. After secularization it passed to Bavaria in 1803 and to Count Firmas-Perier in 1805, who added the two-story theater in 1825 with hand-printed Dufour wallpapers from Paris. From 1838 it housed a girls' school. In 1921 Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe, inventor of the gyrocompass, bought and restored it and gave it to the University of Munich; Albert Einstein signed the guestbook in 1923. The Management Centrum opened in October 1993 after restoration, and many meeting rooms carry the names of the scientists linked to the house.
Getting there
Lautrach lies in the Iller valley, a short drive from Memmingen and Memmingen Airport, with the A7 and A96 motorways nearby.
