The Weinberger Castle Advent in Kefermarkt, one of Austria's most beautiful Advent markets, is an annual highlight taking place during the contemplative Advent season. This unique event, spanning the entire castle grounds of Schloss Weinberg, is initiated and organized by the Schloss Weinberg Castle Administration, which is responsible not only for the market's event but also for the maintenance and care of the castle.
More than 120 exhibitors and live workshops annually attract visitors with a comprehensive range of handcrafted art objects. Under the motto "Art over Kitsch," the market presents high-quality, artistic products that reflect the craftsmanship and creativity of the region.
The market's musical accompaniment is characterized by a concert series with authentic folk music and humorous moderation in the Knight's Hall, complemented by the festive music of the Arienbläser of the Kefermarkt Music Chapel and the Jagdhornbläser Nordwald from the castle tower. For the younger visitors, the market offers a special highlight: Märchen-Margit enchants daily at 14:00 in the castle tower with her stories.
Culinary-wise, the Weinberger Castle Advent spoils its guests with a variety of traditional delicacies and drinks, served in the castle restaurant and at numerous gourmet stalls. Regional specialties invite guests to linger and enjoy, sweetening the visit in the picturesque Mühlviertel.
A stress-free arrival and departure are ensured by a free shuttle service near the train station. This allows visitors to enjoy the market without worrying about parking. On Friday and Saturday, guests and exhibitors can relaxingly conclude their day at the Advent market in the ice cellar in front of the castle until 22:00.
Finally, Schloss Weinberg itself is an attraction. With its long history and picturesque location in the Mühlviertel, it provides the perfect setting for this atmospheric Advent market. The Weinberger Castle Advent is therefore not just a market, but a holistic experience that uniquely combines tradition, culture, and enjoyment.
The Weinberger Castle Advent takes place annually, and therefore for the thirty-second time previsibly in December 2024 in Kefermarkt.
