Schloss Ranzow can host seminars, workshops, team events, weddings and company parties of up to 100 guests on the northeast coast of Rügen. The castle, built in 1890 and listed as a monument, stands above the fishing village of Lohme with a view of the Baltic Sea, next to Jasmund National Park. The hotel states that it is open from May 15 to October 15, 2026, and will reopen from April 2027 with a new concept.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers four rooms for meetings: the glazed pavilion called Das Oktagon, the castle vault (Schlossgewölbe), the conservatory (Wintergarten) and the garden pavilion, plus open-air sessions in the castle park. Groups can be small or large. Half-day, classic and comfortable meeting formats are offered with catering, quoted individually, and the team can add indoor or outdoor activities for team spirit.
Das Oktagon is the main space for business events. It is an octagonal, fully glazed pavilion of about 180 square meters with plenty of daylight, electric blackout and a view of the park and the sea. The seating can be set as theater, parliament, tables, U-shape, block, banquet or reception, with a separable buffet area. Equipment includes free Wi-Fi, Bluetooth speakers, a daylight projector and screen, a flipchart, partition boards, a facilitator case and dimmable lighting. Cloakroom, private toilets and an accessible toilet are provided, and access is step-free throughout. Floor plans can be downloaded from the site.
Weddings and receptions
The castle holds civil ceremonies and free ceremonies, and the site lists private celebrations, anniversaries, family parties and company parties. Rooms for celebrations are: the castle itself, for up to 24 guests with a buffet or menu until 10 p.m., or up to 50 guests with a buffet only; the Oktagon, for up to 70 guests with a buffet; the castle meadow, facing the castle with a marquee for up to 100; and the castle pavilion, also used for weddings, with a marquee for up to 50. A marquee can be attached to the Oktagon to extend it for up to 100 people.
Entertainment and dancing inside the castle require renting all six castle rooms for at least two nights, out of respect for other guests. The Oktagon can be rented without accommodation.
Rooms and capacities
Up to 100 people can be accommodated in a marquee set-up, 70 in the Oktagon with entertainment and a buffet, and 50 or 24 in the castle depending on the format. Buffets for 25 guests or more are provided by partner caterers because the house team is small.
Accommodation
The castle has six rooms (12 guests), two double rooms in the annex called Ummanz (4 guests), a holiday house called Zeesenboot (4 guests) and holiday apartments managed by the castle for another 24 to 30 guests. The property also has a private 18-hole golf course, a wellness area with saunas and an infinity pool.
Catering
Food for the Oktagon is prepared by the EARL team, who follow the event from start to finish. Wedding planners, caterers, hired waiters, entertainers and photographers are available through the castle's partners.
Getting there
The castle is in Lohme, in the northeast of Rügen. By train, it is about 50 minutes from Stralsund to Sassnitz station. A paid shuttle between Sassnitz and Lohme can be arranged, subject to availability. Parking is available on site.
