Seminars and company events
Schlosshotel Mailberg takes seminars, company celebrations, galas and weddings for up to 230 guests in its largest hall, with hotel rooms, an inn and a wine shop in the same castle. The building stands in the village of Mailberg, in the Weinviertel wine region of Lower Austria, north of Vienna.
Seminars run on half-day and full-day packages that cover room hire, a morning snack and a two-course lunch at the castle inn, and on full days a three-course dinner as well. Every seminar room has a projector, a screen, a flipchart, a facilitation kit and wifi, with a member of staff assigned to the group. The Konferenzzimmer can be booked as a room only, without meals. Groups can add a wine tasting in the Vinothek or a guided tour of the castle to close the day. Company anniversaries and cultural evenings such as concerts, readings and exhibitions are also part of the program, and the team supports planning from the first brief.
Weddings and receptions
Church weddings take place in the baroque Schlosskirche, which holds up to 120 guests. Civil ceremonies use the Kaminzimmer, and couples can also marry outdoors in the paved courtyard, with the Kaminzimmer or the Schlossvinothek as the fallback in bad weather. A buffet reception in the courtyard can follow, then dinner and dancing in the Wappensaal. A bridal suite is set aside for getting ready, and the garden with its pavilion serves for photographs.
Rooms and capacities
The Wappensaal covers about 270 square meters, with a fixed stage and heraldic panels of the grand masters and commanders of the Order of Malta. It seats 220 in cinema rows, 150 at seminar tables or 130 at gala tables, and takes up to 230 depending on the layout. The Kaminzimmer, about 90 square meters and almost square, has an open fireplace and a gallery for breaks and receptions, for up to 50 people. The Konferenzzimmer, 30 square meters, has daylight, blackout and adjustable lighting for small groups. The salon and side rooms next to the Kaminzimmer add flexible space.
Accommodation
The hotel offers Superior rooms of 25 to 30 square meters named after Maltese knights of the Weinviertel, Luxus rooms of up to 39 square meters named after noble families, and Luxus suites, some with separate living and sleeping areas. Four Superior rooms are in the Pfarrhof, a restored building from the second half of the 16th century at the foot of the castle.
Catering
Meals come from the Schlosswirtshaus, the castle inn, which cooks regional dishes and serves Weinviertel wines from a weekly menu. The castle also sells its own Schlosswein, which can feature at a tasting or a dinner.
History and setting
Mailberg is a commandery of the Order of Malta. The castle church, Gothic in origin, was remodeled in the baroque style in 1609 and is dedicated to St. John, patron of the Order. Its high altar painting shows St. John the Baptist above Malta, asking protection for the Order's fleet on its way to the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The church was restored in 2007 and keeps a Silberbauer organ from 1793.
