Advent in the Castle

Atmospheric Christmas World in the Festively Decorated Castle: Handicrafts, creative gift ideas, culinary delights, Advent decorations, and handmade treasures invite you to browse, enjoy, and feel at home.

Christmas Atmosphere
Atmospheric decorations, artisanal treasures, the scent of mulled wine and freshly baked waffles – all this awaits visitors at the traditional pre-Christmas market in the Wasserschloss Bad Rappenau. The festively decorated castle transforms into an enchanting Christmas world. On two floors and in the romantically decorated castle courtyard, guests can browse, discover, enjoy, and shop to their heart's content.

Handmade Treasures and Creative Gifts
Numerous exhibitors present lovingly crafted products from a wide range of areas. Look forward to handmade jewelry made from precious metals, glass beads, or recycled bicycle inner tubes, paper crafts, fine soaps, crocheted hats, scarves, hand-knitted socks, individually sewn children's clothing and bags, as well as beeswax candles, handmade cards, and creative gift ideas made from paper and natural materials.

Culinary Variety
There is also a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights – from homemade jams and pastries to spices, oils, and mustard, as well as hearty sausage specialties. Mulled wine and children's punch, fragrant waffles, coffee and cake, as well as savory dishes invite you to enjoy and linger.

Special Highlights
Special eye-catchers include artistic Advent wreaths, arrangements, Raysin decorations, macramé baskets, and many other lovingly crafted small items – ideal as gifts or to treat yourself.

Support for a Good Cause
The market also supports a good cause: knitted accessories such as scarves, hats, and socks are sold for the benefit of the Tannheim Aftercare Clinic, while cards and baby booties are sold for the initiative "Große Hilfe für kleine Helden" (Great Help for Little Heroes). The proceeds from the waffle sales go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and a portion of the revenue from the sale of mulled wine, coffee, and cake also goes to these charitable organizations.
