Christmas in an 800-Year-Old Castle
The Burg-Weihnacht is the historical Christmas market of Neustadt-Glewe, a small town in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district (state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). The venue is Neustadt-Glewe Castle, built in the 13th century and considered Mecklenburg's oldest still preserved fortified castle. This historic site gives the market its unmistakable character: here, the splendor of past centuries meets the festive atmosphere of the Advent season.
Market in the Castle Courtyard and Interior
The market extends over three areas: the castle courtyard, the castle forecourt, and the interior of the castle. At historical stalls, traders and craftspeople offer handmade gifts and culinary delights — from mulled wine to roasted almonds and Mutzen. The mix of historical and modern goods makes browsing the Burg-Weihnacht varied.
Model Railway, Creative Workshop, and Stage Program
Among the highlights is a model railway exhibition covering around 150 square meters, delighting both children and adults with its attention to detail. In the creative workshop, visitors can design their own gifts from wood, ceramics, wool, and soapstone. On stage, Christmas carols alternate with rock and pop tunes, complemented by fire shows and a children's Christmas program.
An Advent Excursion to Western Mecklenburg
The Burg-Weihnacht is a worthwhile excursion destination for the Advent season. Neustadt-Glewe is conveniently located between Schwerin and Ludwigslust and is easily accessible via the A 24 motorway. Visiting the castle with its Christmas market combines culture, history, and pre-Christmas atmosphere into an experience for the whole family.
