Winter Lounge in the Castle Courtyard

Winter Delights on the Castle Forecourt

From 28th November 2026 to 3rd January 2027, the entrance to the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg transforms into an inviting winter gathering place, celebrating the magic of the festive season. Overlooking the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, the Winter Lounge welcomes hotel guests, visitors and local residents to enjoy the unique atmosphere of Advent and Christmas in the exceptional surroundings of the castle.

Whether after a winter walk, as a cosy meeting place with friends and family, or as a relaxing stop after Christmas shopping, the Winter Lounge provides the perfect setting for enjoyable moments outdoors.

From our charming beverage trailer, we serve warming mulled wine, seasonal specialties, refreshing soft drinks and a carefully selected range of festive beverages. For a truly comforting culinary experience, indulge in our traditional cheese fondue – perfect for sharing and the ideal complement to the cosy winter atmosphere.

Surrounded by sparkling lights, festive music and the picturesque view of the Christmas tree, the Winter Lounge offers a place to relax, connect and celebrate the season. Its welcoming atmosphere invites you to linger, whether for a quick festive break or a leisurely afternoon with family and friends.

The Winter Lounge in the castle courtyard is open to everyone – warm, welcoming and set against the unique backdrop of Schloss Bensberg. Join us for memorable winter moments filled with festive flavours, music and seasonal cheer. We look forward to welcoming you.
