Schulhaus Berg is a former village school on the Littauer Berg above Lucerne, rented out for seminars, company events, private parties and weddings with up to 100 guests. The owners let the whole building to one group at a time, so no second event runs in parallel.
Seminars and company events
The house is run by Yvonne and Heiner Geisseler. Besides private parties, they have specialized in company meetings and sell day packages that include food and drink. The rooms can be rearranged for a workshop, a plenary session or a board day, and they have comfort ventilation. Audio and internet run on fiber optic lines.
Exclusive use is the main argument for organisers. Your group has the full building to itself, which suits confidential strategy days, client presentations and team retreats. The owners look after guests on site and send a business brochure with their offers on request.
For groups larger than the building allows, the owners offer further rooms at a partner business, huob.ch. Between sessions, participants can use the large school yard and the walking paths through the surrounding countryside.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings take place here as well. A free ceremony can be held in front of the white pavilion, followed by a larger celebration indoors or on the big outdoor area. The site says that alternatives are ready in case of rain. The hosts state that they can recommend service providers and draw on a wide network in the events field.
Birthdays, company celebrations and other private parties are also accepted. According to the official site, the building holds 100 people comfortably.
Rooms and capacities
The official pages describe the indoor area as about 300 square meters. On the ground floor there are two large seminar rooms that a partition wall can divide, with seating that can be set up to suit your format. Two group rooms in the basement suit work in small teams. Outside, the school yard measures about 400 square meters, with four large chestnut trees and a pavilion that give shade, and it can host an aperitif in good weather. The pages do not give a separate capacity for each room, so ask for the floor plans and the seating options for your format.
Catering
Food and drink for events come from several catering partners, and the hosts advise on the best choice for each occasion. Drinks are supplied through the venue, with a wide choice. For company meetings, the day packages bundle the room with catering, so one offer covers the whole day.
History and setting
The building is a former school house on the Littauer Berg, on the edge of Lucerne. The setting is quiet and rural while staying close to the city. The site highlights the view of Mount Pilatus and the whole central Swiss mountain chain, and the school yard gives guests space to step outside between sessions.
Getting there
The address is Schulhaus Berg, 6014 Lucerne. The official pages do not describe public transport, so ask the hosts about access, parking and the best way to bring a group up the hill.
