Medieval Christmas Market at Hanstein Castle 2025

Friends of medieval castles and events know Bornhagen. Bornhagen has become well-known far beyond the borders of the region thanks to Hanstein Castle and several events held there. One of these events is the medieval Christmas market at Hanstein Castle. Some visitors consider this pre-Christmas event to be one of the most beautiful medieval Christmas markets in Central Germany. A nativity exhibition takes place inside Hanstein Castle, while a medieval Christmas market is held on the grounds. Christmas melodies resonate from the castle's great hall, and the smell of roasted delicacies fills the air. A festive fairy-tale world awaits both young and old guests. Medieval crafts entice visitors to watch, marvel, and of course, shop. Elegantly decorated market stalls offer almost everything the heart desires during the Advent season, from everyday household items to handcrafted goods and Christmas decorations. Many guests are likely to find the missing gift for Christmas or St. Nicholas Day.
