You can admire and purchase handicrafts in a cozy atmosphere. Warm up with a delicious hot drink, taste seasonal delicacies and enjoy freshly prepared tarte flambée from the historic oven of our 500-year-old Pfisterei.
In the afternoon (between 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm), the sounds of our trumpeters under the large Christmas tree decorated by children in the castle courtyard also create a pre-Christmas atmosphere.
(Free admission on the footpath to the Advent market, extra charge inside)
