Atmospheric Winsen Christmas Market at Schlossplatz with Arts and Crafts Market in the Marstall
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.
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.
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. Families will find a carousel, children's program, and the popular fairy tale hour.
The 2026 edition continues the long-standing tradition, bringing the center of Winsen into pre-Christmas spirit. The combination of the Schlossplatz market and the Marstall arts and crafts makes the market one of the most atmospheric in the region.
Families will find a carousel and children's program, while adults can enjoy cozy meeting spots for mulled wine and strolling. Advent concerts in the nearby St. Marien Church complete the offerings.
