We are delighted to organise the Romantic Christmas Market at Merode Castle again and even celebrate our 15th anniversary this year!
Merode Castle is one of the most impressive Renaissance water castles in the Rhineland and is, along with its park, open to visitors during Advent season. Over the past 15 years, the "Romantic Christmas Market", which is based on the roots of the traditional, contemplative Christmas, has gained an international reputation. With its successful mix of traditional handicrafts and selected gastronomy, romantic light installations, open fireplaces and the impressively illuminated castle, the market offers a unique atmosphere.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Signposted coach parking spaces are located near the ticket office
- Early booking discount secured with voucher system
- Tour guide and coach driver receive free admission (valid for groups of 25 or more)
