Schloss Werdenberg rents rooms and its courtyard for weddings, aperitifs and company events. The castle stands on a hill above Lake Werdenberg, with the small wooden town of Werdenberg below it. Requests go to a dedicated team that handles weddings, aperitifs and private events.
Seminars and company events
The bistro in the castle courtyard can be rented in summer and in winter. The castle names company events, Christmas parties and birthdays as typical uses. It also arranges aperitifs for associations, companies, class reunions and birthdays, and can combine one with a guided tour of the castle, the town or the Schlangenhaus museum.
To request an event, organizers fill in a form that asks for the desired date, an alternative date, the expected number of guests and the type of event. Food can be added in cooperation with regional caterers, and the castle works mainly with a caterer from Buchs.
Weddings and receptions
Civil weddings take place in the Landvogtstube, the castle's wedding room, from April 1 to October 31. The service covers the room for the ceremony, set up and removal by the castle keeper, drinks service for an aperitif and administration. Couples confirm the date with the civil registry office in Buchs and may visit the rooms beforehand by appointment.
The wedding aperitif is held in the Rittersaal or in the courtyard. In good weather the courtyard is used, and in bad weather the bistro. Drinks must be ordered from the bistro and are served by the castle team. The museum stays open during a ceremony, except for the wedding room.
Rooms and capacities
The spaces named on the official site are the Landvogtstube for ceremonies, the Rittersaal for aperitifs, the courtyard and the bistro. The site does not state capacities. Give the expected number of guests in your request so the team can propose a space.
Catering
Drinks come from the castle bistro. For food, the Verein Schloss Werdenberg advises on caterers and works mainly with one firm from Buchs. The bistro itself serves regional products, many of them organic, during the museum season.
