Concert Summer in the Bavarian Forest
Kultur im Schloss is one of the most traditional concert series in the district of Cham in the state of Bavaria. Organized by the market town of Neukirchen beim Heiligen Blut, it takes place in the Pilgrimage Museum at Marktplatz 10 – a historically significant site in the well-known pilgrimage town of the Bavarian Forest.
Concept and Venues
From May to early October, there is a concert every Wednesday at 7:30 PM. Performances are held in the Pflegersaal of the Pilgrimage Museum or, in good weather, in the atmospheric castle courtyard. Over an entire season, this amounts to around two dozen concerts.
Musical Diversity
The program is deliberately broad: classical chamber music with string quartet and piano, jazz, blues, world music, rock, and Bavarian folk music. The artists come from diverse regions of the world, including Gambia and Chile – a conscious international bridge-building in the heart of the Bavarian Forest.
Award and Tradition
The series has been organized by the municipality since 1992 and was awarded the Culture Prize of the Bavarian Forest Cultural Association in 2025 for its high quality. Free admission makes the sophisticated program accessible to everyone.
Atmosphere
The combination of historical ambiance, high-quality program, and accessible entry makes Kultur im Schloss a summer highlight for music lovers in the region.
