Reinbeker SchlossPartie

Market in the Renaissance Castle

When the trees around Schloss Reinbek turn red and gold, the SchlossPartie traditionally begins in November — a two-day sales market that takes over the entire castle and its surroundings. Stylish Renaissance halls, wood-panelled rooms, and the castle courtyard will be filled by around 50 exhibitors presenting home decor, fashion, garden, and leisure items.

Schloss Reinbek — Historical Context

Schloss Reinbek was built between 1572 and 1576 by Duke Adolf I of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf. It is the only surviving Renaissance castle in Schleswig-Holstein and is located directly on the mill pond on the outskirts of Reinbek. Today, it is used as a cultural center — hosting concerts, exhibitions, weddings, and several markets a year, such as the SchlossPartie and the traditional Advent market.

The 50 Exhibitors

The range of exhibitors is deliberately curated — you won't find mass-produced goods or typical flea market stalls here. What is offered:

• Home Decor — handmade ceramics, glass art, textiles, wooden objects
• Fashion and Accessories — jewelry, scarves, bags, knitwear
• Garden and Outdoor Products — plants, garden decor, outdoor furniture
• Leisure Items — seasonal gift ideas, unusual books, gourmet products

Inside the castle, a small gastronomic selection (café area, hot drinks, snacks) accompanies the stroll through the rooms.

Reinbek — Just Outside Hamburg

Reinbek is a town with around 28,000 inhabitants in the district of Stormarn, Schleswig-Holstein — located directly east of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, with S-Bahn connections to Hamburg city center. The SchlossPartie attracts visitors from the greater Hamburg area, the district of Stormarn, and the Duchy of Lauenburg, who seek a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Pre-Christmas Browsing

The market consciously positions itself as the start of the season: 'a fine selection of beautiful things' to browse and buy, 'before the hectic Christmas season begins'. Those looking for original gifts can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere in November — unlike the crowded Advent markets in December.
