A lovingly run 16th-century castle, exclusively yours. Registry office, chapel and wedding garden all on one estate, more than 70 beds on site and celebrations with no curfew.
Many couples dream of getting married in a castle. Here, that dream becomes reality, with no compromises: during your rental period, nothing else takes place anywhere on the estate. No second celebration, no other guests, no outside onlookers.
Unusually for a castle, we have our own historic chapel and a sunny wedding garden. This means you can hold your ceremony whatever the weather, without having to move from one venue to another. An advantage that many hundreds of couples have enjoyed to date.
And getting married in a castle doesn’t have to be any more expensive than elsewhere. Do ask about our Friday weddings or dates outside the peak season.

The registry office, church and celebrant-led ceremonies are all located on a single site here. You don’t have to choose between a beautiful setting and short distances – you get both.
The Sinsheim registry office holds ceremonies right here in the castle, in the Linley ceremony hall on the third floor. A historic setting, accessible by lift, with castle charm instead of an office corridor.

Our historic chapel with bells, altar, organ and stained-glass windows enchants everyone. Something special among castles: it can be used for ceremonies of any or no denomination and seats up to 150 people.
Romantically by the fountain with a view of the castle, or in the shade of a 220-year-old beech tree. Your wedding celebrant shapes the ceremony entirely around your story.
A first at Neuhaus: you can have a celebrant-led and a civil ceremony in one single ceremony. This legally binding 2-in-1 wedding is possible on Saturdays until 3 pm in the castle park, led by our wedding celebrants.
Not a rigid programme, but the framework most of our couples recognise themselves in. Of course, everything can be tailored to you.
Your big celebration deserves to be celebrated in style. Most venues give you just a few hours. With us, the castle is yours from Friday to Sunday: arrive, take a deep breath, get everything ready together, and finish with a brunch where everyone can come together one last time.
More than 70 beds in 27 lovingly furnished rooms and suites, spread across the castle, manor house, forest lodge and coach house. Eleven rooms are inside the castle itself, with stucco ceilings, views of the greenery and four-poster beds. Live like nobility and sleep like royalty, surrounded by everyone who matters to you. Parents, best man and maid of honour, old friends: everyone stays.
Each room has its own character and can be arranged with seating as required. Most celebrations make use of several of them over the course of a day.
The grand setting for dinners, conferences and galas. High ceilings, stucco and daylight from three sides.
The more intimate hall for smaller gatherings, family celebrations and workshops. Directly adjacent to the guest rooms. Wheelchair accessible with access to the courtyard.
The registry office's ceremony hall on the third floor, also used as a meeting room during the week.
Chesterfield sofas, a painted coffered ceiling and the billiard room next door. A room for getting ready, a quiet retreat and a spot for drinks.
A bright salon with views over the valley. Getting ready in the morning, a workshop room during the week.
A vaulted room with a bar, lighting and sound systems, and a chill-out area. Here, the night ends whenever you like.
The courtyard between the castle and the manor house, with a permanent marquee for receptions, barbecue evenings or dinner beneath fairy lights.
Ceremony lawn, pavilion and the historic castle chapel, all within walking distance on the grounds.
We have made a conscious decision not to run our own restaurant on the premises, but to leave that to the professionals. Seven catering partners have been working with us for years, offering everything from breakfast service and barbecues to multi-course menus. You decide who suits you best in terms of taste, price and personal rapport.
Contact with the caterers usually comes about when the rental agreement is signed. Tell us the style, duration and level of service you have in mind, and we will suggest suitable partners for you to contact directly.

That varies widely, ranging from 595 euros for a purely civil ceremony on a Wednesday to a luxurious weekend wedding with 140 guests, including catering and fireworks, costing as much as a sports car.
We’ll outline the factors affecting the rental price so that you can calculate the rental cost yourself straight away using the slider.
Although our rent is not calculated directly from the number of guests, it does tell us which rooms, and how many, you will need for your wedding. Up to 50 guests, for example, can celebrate comfortably in our manor house. For 80 guests, the marquee in the inner courtyard would be a good choice. And if you are planning for up to 140 people, you will need the entire castle.
Would you like a purely civil ceremony lasting 30 minutes, a one-day wedding, a Saturday wedding with one overnight stay, or even a wedding celebration spanning the whole weekend? Besides the duration, the rental price also depends on the day of the week and the month you choose.
Would you like guest rooms, and if so, how many and for how many nights? We have 11 suites in the castle, 9 guest rooms in the manor house and 6 guest rooms in the forest lodge, which you can book by building for one or two nights. You decide whether to cover the costs yourselves or pass them on to your overnight guests.
In summer, our weekends are often booked up over a year in advance. You can see the current availability here. Weekdays and the off-season are almost always available and slightly cheaper.

On the tour, we show you every area: guest reception, ceremony, coffee, dinner, dancing, party and accommodation. Allow one to two hours, although with two banquet halls, 27 guest rooms and more than 15,000 square metres, it may take longer.
Between May and mid-October, due to ongoing weddings, we can only show you the venue on weekdays. It’s best if you’ve read the wedding brochure beforehand and have a rough idea of when you’d like to celebrate and how many guests you’ll be inviting.

No. You can celebrate as loudly and as long as you like. Our nearest neighbour is the forest. You and your DJ decide together when your celebration in the party lounge ends.
We do not operate our own catering service. Instead, we work with seven selected catering companies that have been working with us for many years. You are free to choose whichever one you prefer.
Yes. The Sinsheim registry office conducts marriages on Wednesdays and Fridays in the Linley ceremony hall in the castle. On Saturdays, we offer the combined ceremony: celebrant-led and civil in a single, legally binding ceremony, until 3 pm in the castle park. Dates for purely civil ceremonies are allocated by the registry office.
Both are warmly welcome. The grounds are child- and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to run about and no roads nearby.
The castle belongs to the von Gemmingen-Hornberg family. It is operated as a wedding and event venue by a separate company.
