The fair takes place at the striking location of Faber Castell Castle. In addition to inspiring and appealing stalls, it offers a varied side program and live music. The castle is a historicist castle complex from the 19th and early 20th centuries, situated in the Central Franconian city of Stein. Until 1939, the castle was inhabited by the Faber-Castell family. In subsequent years, due to unfolding events, the castle was seized and served, among other things, as a base for American occupation forces and later as a residence for journalists covering the Nuremberg Trials. Since 1980, the estate has been used again as a venue for various events.

A distinctive feature of the "Winter Dreams" in Stein is its emphasis on regional products and services, placing significant importance on quality and sustainability. Visitors can be assured of uncovering genuine treasures and original items from the region.
