Living castle

Those who wish to celebrate their birthday at a real knights’ castle have come to the right place on our Living Castle days. These are held practically every Sunday and public holiday between Easter and November 1 from 11 am to 6 pm.

After the party has been grandly received with a welcome sip from the great ox horn an exciting day at the castle begins, with all sorts of craft and pottery, archery and catapults, a thrilling tour of the castle – and of course good food and drink at the knights’ massive table!   

And while ‘normal’ castle visitors listen to the dulcet tones of the castle minstrels, little lords dress and arm themselves for a ceremonial knighting by their host, while birthday damsels are paid the full formal honours befitting a noble lady. At the end of our very special castle party the birthday boy or girl receives a small present and all young guests are given a frozen treat from the stone vault.

The group price of €220 includes:

• Entrance to the Ehrenburg for a total of 10 people (children and adults), every additional guest costs 20€ per person extra
• A welcome sip from the drinking horn and a second drink at lunchtime
• Participation in all games, competitions and the castle tour
• Lunch: chicken drumsticks and castle potatoes, later ice-cream
• Full birthday honours with a knighting, certificate and small gift
• A Birthday cake (10 pieces)
• Please note, that self catering is not allowed, thanks for your understanding
• Parties must be booked in advance.

Even in the Ehrenburger Summer and at the theme Festivals, it is now possible to celebrate his birthday party in the walls of the castle.  In the period between All Saints Day and Easter, we also offer you the opportunity to celebrate the birthday party of your child in the imposing walls of the Ehrenburg. After the welcome drink from the horn, the guests, youn and old, can explore the castle under expert guidance in a medieval dressed actor. They practice in cherry-core spit, bake bread and learn how to handle a bow and arrow. Added to this fantastic experience and fun is food and a drink in the Knight´s Hall. Price on request. Parties must be booked in advance.
