Schloss Urschendorf, at Schlossplatz 1 in Urschendorf, Austria, offers a castle, a former farm building and a large park for private events. Organisers can book it for weddings, receptions, presentations and exhibition openings. The event room holds about 85 guests at a wedding table with music and dancing, and the castle hall seats up to 40 for a festive dinner.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists presentations and vernissages next to weddings under its events heading. The castle and its outbuildings, together with the large park, provide space for a festive gathering, and the organisers choose among the rooms according to taste. No seminar package, meeting equipment list or accommodation for a working group is described on the pages consulted.
An organiser planning a presentation, a company reception or an exhibition opening should therefore describe the format to the castle and ask which room fits. The event room is equipped with modern technology, according to the site, and the castle hall suits a seated dinner for up to 40 guests.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main use. The castle stresses privacy and a discreet, efficient organization that accompanies the couple and the guests. The castle, the farm building (Meierhof) and the park present an exclusive setting for a wedding and for wedding photographs.
Civil ceremonies can take place in the castle or in the park, and since recently also on Sundays and public holidays. The couple can request an information sheet by email or phone. A church ceremony can be organized in the pilgrimage church Maria Kirchbüchl, only 3 kilometers away, including a horse carriage or vintage car ride. The parish church of St. Egyden is a ten-minute walk through the castle park.
The site explains that historic walls, arches, columns and inlaid parquet suit couples who appreciate historic buildings, and the large park has old trees and flower beds.
Rooms and capacities
The Eventraum Kuhstall is the former stable, converted into a large event room. It holds about 85 people for a table with music and dancing. A cafeteria and bar adjoins it and holds about 35 people. The wedding table with music and dancing can combine with the whole Meierhof.
