About Kultur Schloss Dhaun Summer
Schloss Dhaun is not just a historic building, but also a vibrant stage for cultural events. During the summer months, the castle courtyard, the castle chapel, and individual halls are transformed into atmospheric venues for concerts, readings, theatre evenings, and castle tours. The first regular summer date in 2026 is the castle tour on Saturday, May 23rd at 1:30 PM – the kick-off to a series of regular cultural events.
The Burghotel Schloss Dhaun operates the historic building as a hotel, conference center, and cultural venue. Schloss Dhaun thus offers an extraordinary setting for concerts and cultural experiences – the unique backdrop of 800 years of history, the view into the Hahnenbachtal valley, and the intimate atmosphere of the halls shape every experience.

In recent years, Schloss Dhaun has established itself as a popular destination for artists and organizers.

Experienced castle guides convey the history, architecture, and anecdotes of the complex. Visitors to the castle during the day can combine their walk around the grounds with lunch or dinner at the Burghotel.
Concerts and Cultural Diversity
Various concert formats take place at Schloss Dhaun throughout the year: chamber music in the castle chapel, classical recitals, jazz evenings, folk concerts, readings, and sometimes theatre evenings. The program is curated by the Burghotel and its partners and announced on the website schlossdhaun.de. Summer and early autumn are the peak season for open-air suitability – concerts in the castle courtyard are among the most atmospheric experiences.
Hochstetten-Dhaun and the Kirner Land
Hochstetten-Dhaun belongs to the Kirner Land municipal association and is located about four kilometers northeast of Kirn. The Dhaun district with the castle sits enthroned on a mountain spur, while Hochstetten lies in the valley. The region is ideal for hiking, for example on the Soonwaldsteig or in the Hahnenbachtal valley with the Celtic settlement Altburg.
