About Weihnachtsmarkt Winsen Schlossplatz

On the first weekend of Advent, the historic Schlossplatz in Winsen an der Luhe transforms into an atmospheric Christmas market. Against the backdrop of the Marstall and the castle grounds, around 50 stalls gather with regional artisans, mulled wine, Christmas specialties, and gift ideas. In parallel, the arts and crafts market in the Marstall opens with ceramics, textiles, woodwork, jewelry, and decorations from across the region. Musical accompaniment ensures the right atmosphere, and punch, bratwurst, and candied almonds are naturally part of it. The market is one of the central events in Winsen's Advent season and a popular meeting point for families and Advent strollers from the entire district of Harburg. The exact date for 2026 (first weekend of Advent) and program details will be published by the city of Winsen and the Museum im Marstall in late autumn. Winsen is easily accessible via the A39 and the Hamburg-Lüneburg railway line.

Winsen Christmas Market at Schlossplatz

Every year on the first weekend of Advent, the Winsen Christmas Market brings together locals and visitors on the historic Schlossplatz. The close proximity of the castle, Marstall, and St. Marien Church creates a special ambiance, making the market one of the most beautiful in the region.

Around 50 Stalls on Schlossplatz

Approximately 50 stalls shape the scene on the square. Artisans from the region present handmade gifts, ranging from ceramics and woodwork to textiles and jewelry. In addition, mulled wine, bratwurst, candied almonds, and Christmas specialties cater to culinary delights. The market invites you to stroll, meet, and enjoy.

Arts and Crafts Market in the Marstall

A special attraction is the parallel arts and crafts market in the Marstall. In the historic building of the Museum im Marstall, regional artisans showcase high-quality works – ceramics, textiles, wood, glass, jewelry, and decorations, perfect as individual Christmas gifts. The market in the Marstall is weather-independent and a cozy meeting point, especially during changeable Advent weather.

Musical accompaniment by local clubs, choirs, and brass bands characterizes the market. Advent concerts in the nearby St. Marien Church complete the cultural offerings, making the Winsen Christmas Market a holistic Advent experience.
