Romantic Christmas Market at Schloss Kronburg 2026: all dates
Schloss Kronburg confirms two event weekends for its anniversary year 2026. It is open from Friday to Sunday on both weekends. There is no Christmas market in between, from Monday, 16 November to Thursday, 19 November. On Fridays, the stalls open at 15 and close at 20. On Saturdays and Sundays, you can visit from 11 to 20. This makes it possible to visit early at the weekend or enjoy an atmospheric stroll in the evening.
Crafts in the illuminated castle
The focus is explicitly on crafts: according to the castle administration, around 90 per cent of the stalls are run by craftspeople. Around 40 vendors exhibit in the castle courtyard and the ground-floor rooms. You can stroll through the historic areas and look for handmade gifts. The castle courtyard is also lit festively. The historic building provides a special setting for this event and sets the market apart from many traditional Christmas markets in public squares.
Romantic Christmas Market at Schloss Kronburg 2026 for families
The castle administration announces free childcare with craft materials, free storytelling sessions and sweets handed out by St Nicholas. Artists are also due to perform during market hours. However, the general event information checked does not provide complete times for individual performances. So no programme times have been made up here. If you want to see a particular performance, check the latest programme on the organiser's website beforehand.
Admission and important access information
According to Schloss Kronburg, admission costs 5 euros. Children aged twelve and under can enter free of charge. Discounts are available for registered groups, people with disabilities and students with valid proof of eligibility. Please also note the site conditions: because of the gravel in the castle courtyard and steps leading to the rooms, the Christmas market is unfortunately not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs, according to the organisers. On busy Saturdays and Sundays, entry may be temporarily stopped for safety reasons.
Parking and getting there
The castle administration provides free parking on meadows below the castle hill, supervised by the fire brigade. From there, a footpath to the castle takes about 15 minutes. You cannot drive directly to the castle while the market is open. You should therefore allow enough time for the walk and follow the signs. In wet weather, the paths and meadows may also be slippery. You can find detailed information on the official Christmas market page of Schloss Kronburg.
