Wasserschloss Unsleben, a moated castle in the village of Unsleben in Bavaria, is hired for weddings and receptions. Its main room, the Festsaal known as Die Rote Stallung, covers 200 square meters and suits a celebration with dancing for roughly 70 to 170 guests. The estate adds a carriage hall, a smaller room and a castle garden, and offers several places to sleep on site.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the castle as a wedding venue and does not advertise seminars or conferences. A company that wants a summer party, a private dinner or an anniversary can ask whether the Festsaal is available for a non-wedding date, but the offer described online is built around weddings. Organizers of business events should confirm directly what the team accepts before planning.
Weddings and receptions
The castle lists civil ceremonies (Standesamt) and free ceremonies (Freie Trauung) as options, along with two styles of celebration: a vintage wedding and a do-it-yourself wedding. The reception takes place in Die Rote Stallung, where round tables of eight are set up in the hall. A foyer in front of the room can hold a cocktail bar. If the weather forecast for the welcome drinks looks poor, tents can be rented as an option. Outdoor space is available next to the hall.
Rooms and capacities
Die Rote Stallung is the former stable, now a vaulted hall with red columns and a wooden floor described as suited to dancing. The site gives 200 square meters and says that about 70 to 170 guests can celebrate here. Music can run through the night, with consideration for the neighbors. Smoking is not allowed in the hall unless the couple says otherwise.
Die Remise is a former shelter for carriages and serves as a second covered space. The Reiterzimmer is a further room listed among the wedding spaces. The Grüner Schlossgarten, the green castle garden, is the outdoor setting for ceremonies and drinks. The site does not give capacities for these three spaces, so ask for figures when your guest list depends on them.
Accommodation
Five types of lodging are listed on the estate: the Schloss-Apartment, the Gärtnerhaus (gardener's house), the Burghäuschen, rooms in the Alte Brauerei (old brewery) and the Falkennest, a place for two. The site does not state bed counts, so the number of guests who can sleep on the grounds has to be confirmed with the owners.
Catering
The castle names Caterer Reisers as a partner for wedding catering. The site does not describe menus, and it does not say whether other caterers may be brought in. Ask about this when you request a date.
History and setting
The official data for the place gives 1160 as the earliest date, and the building is a listed monument in Bavaria. It stands at Schloßgasse 22 in Unsleben, in the north of the state, with water around the castle and a walled garden. The mix of stable hall, carriage shelter and garden gives a couple several settings for the ceremony, the meal and the evening, all on one property.
Getting there
The address is Schloßgasse 22, 97618 Unsleben, Germany. The site does not describe public transport. Plan a car or a shuttle for guests, and ask the owners about parking before the day.
