About Burg-Weihnacht

When it gets dark in December, the old castle of Neustadt-Glewe transforms into an atmospheric Christmas market.

In the castle courtyard, on the castle forecourt, and in the interior rooms, historical market stalls offer crafts and delicacies. In addition, there is a large model railway exhibition, a creative workshop, live music, fire shows, and a children's program.

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.
