Advent market Raesfeld

The Raesfeld Advent Market, a gem in the Münsterland, takes place annually on the second weekend of Advent, from Thursday to Sunday. Located in the Hohe Mark Nature Park, the Raesfeld Water Castle, a historical site dating back to the 12th century, provides a picturesque backdrop for this special Christmas market. The organizer, Ortsmarketing Raesfeld e.V, has managed to create an atmosphere that is both traditional and unique..

What sets the Raesfeld Advent Market apart are the about 80 market stalls that harmoniously extend around the water castle. Here, visitors find a diverse selection of products: from nativity scenes and jewelry to art and paintings. Local gastronomy offers traditional delicacies like roasted meats, pastries, punch, mulled wine, crepes, and sausages for physical well-being.

A highlight for the younger guests is the Advent angel, who brings small gifts that light up children's eyes. In addition, a musical program rounds off the festive atmosphere. A special feature of the market is the imposing Raesfeld Water Castle with its 52.5-meter-high tower, which has a fascinating historical significance and serves as a constant, majestic background for the market.

For visitors, there are parking facilities at the castle, which facilitates access to the market. The combination of the historical backdrop, the diverse offerings, and the Christmas spirit makes the Raesfeld Advent Market an unforgettable experience and one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the Münsterland.

The Advent market take place annually, and therefore presumably in December 2024 in Raesfeld.
