Winter Magic at Welsperg Castle – Follow the Stars

For two days, Welsperg Castle shines in a magical winter glow. On Saturday, 27 December, and Sunday, 28 December 2025, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, the medieval castle opens its doors and invites visitors to experience a unique blend of craftsmanship, music, and winter atmosphere. A special highlight awaits guests even on the way to the castle: from the school center, shining stars light the path up to the castle, guiding the way into winter magic. Inside the heated caretaker’s room, lovingly crafted handmade pieces are presented – authentic and unique: Hannis Deco – dried flowers, Gitzl Herbert – nativity scenes, Trakofler Siegfried – woodturning, Gazzurelli Giulietta – hand-painted porcelain and floral greeting cards, Pircher Michi – wool processing with demonstrations. The musical backdrop is provided by traditional folk melodies – played on harp, guitar, and hammered dulcimer, filling the castle with a warm and atmospheric sound. Among the scent of wood, soft candlelight, and familiar melodies, an ambiance unfolds that reveals winter in all its quiet, magical beauty.A castle visit is possible – however, temperatures match those of “medieval conditions”. Warm clothing is recommended. Hot drinks are available, and the restroom facilities are out of service.
