The next Advent market will take place on December 6th and 7th, 2025 at Ludwigstein Castle.

The European Youth Weeks Working Group would like to warmly invite you again to the Advent market at Ludwigstein Castle on December 6th and 7th, 2025. A colorful mix of handicraft exhibitors awaits you in the unique atmosphere of the castle. Stroll through the lovingly decorated walls, try your luck at the tombola or linger over a coffee or mulled wine and bratwurst while the children try their hand at making candles in the craft room.
Get into the Christmas spirit with the live nativity scene in the castle courtyard and explore our annual nativity scene exhibition, this year with the theme “Out and in the Kitchen”. Discover handmade items made of wood, stone and metal and be inspired to make special Christmas gifts for your loved ones. In addition to our donkeys, you can also get to know alpacas.

The market is open on December 6th and 7th from 10 a.m. and closes its doors on Saturday at 6 p.m. and on Sunday at 5 p.m. Entry costs €4 for adults and €2 for young people aged 14 and over and the severely disabled. Children under 14 have free entry. A free shuttle bus takes you from the parking lot to the castle and back.

The organizer of the Advent market is the European Youth Weeks Working Group.
