Schloss Wellenberg offers wedding ceremonies and other ceremonies in its decorated Schloss-Saal or on the Schlosswiese, the castle lawn, along with aperitifs with a buffet. The castle stands in Felben-Wellhausen near Frauenfeld in the canton of Thurgau, and the website gives its address as Schloss Wellenberg 1, 8500 Frauenfeld.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and other ceremonies are held in the historic setting, either in the decorated Schloss-Saal or on the Schlosswiese. The grounds also suit a wedding aperitif and photo shoots. The castle offers aperitifs with a buffet, served as a stylish get-together with the Wellenberger Schlosswein, the wine of the castle. The pages read do not list guest numbers, dates, seasons or rental terms, so a couple should send a request to the castle and ask for the capacity of the hall and the lawn on their date. The castle takes requests at any time and publishes no fixed opening hours for visits.
Seminars and company events
The site does not describe seminars or meeting rooms. The aperitif with buffet and the guided visits can suit a company outing or a client event, but a company should confirm group size and rules with the owners before planning. Guided tours of the castle and the park can end with an aperitif, as the weapons room tours do.
Rooms and capacities
Two named settings are offered for ceremonies, the Schloss-Saal and the Schlosswiese. A third room, the Waffenkammer, houses a study collection of original firearms and replicas dating from 1200 to 1900. Visits there last about one hour and end with an aperitif. Registration is required, and early reservation is needed. No capacity figure is published for any of these spaces.
Catering
Catering for the aperitif is offered by the castle as a buffet with castle wine. Other forms of catering are not described on the pages read.
History and setting
The castle is first mentioned in writing in 1204, with Walter von Wellenberg. The tours cover the historic rooms with the house museum, the Baroque garden and the peony park. A private forest park with three waterfalls is also open, and sturdy footwear is recommended. Open garden days are planned for spring 2027, in late April and May, with the Sundays May 2 and 9 guaranteed, and a history event in the park is announced for May 29 and 30, 2027. Two books on the castle history are available.
