Hollenegger Advent

When the days get shorter and the scent of fir greenery, spices, and freshly baked delicacies wafts through the historic walls, the traditional Advent market in the former Rossstall of Hollenegg Castle opens its doors. For many years, the beginning of the quiet season has been celebrated in a particularly atmospheric way around the Rossstall on the first Advent weekend – with living traditions, regional crafts, and heartfelt hospitality.

Away from hustle and bustle and consumerism, visitors can expect an Advent market that is consciously dedicated to old craft traditions. Numerous artisans present lovingly crafted unique pieces and allow glimpses of their work. Whether it be artistic wood carvings, traditional ceramics, delicate lacework, hand-knitted treasures, or lovingly painted icons – here, craftsmanship becomes a living tradition, and each piece tells its own story.
Even the little guests will find the pre-Christmas season to be a special experience. In the Christmas workshop, under expert guidance, small gifts and Christmas decorations are created that can be taken home.
In the cozy Advent village, regional clubs and businesses invite you to enjoy hearty treats, aromatic mulled wine, and festive specialties. Those who wish to take a reflective break can enjoy homemade pastries and coffee in a charming atmosphere at the Castle café.

The festive backdrop is provided by local music groups, whose festive sounds fill the castle courtyard and impressively underscore the special atmosphere of the Advent season.

The Advent market at Hollenegg Castle is more than just a market – it is a place of encounter, of lived tradition, and of quiet anticipation for Christmas. An excursion that makes the magic of the Advent season tangible and brings the most beautiful values of this special time of year to the forefront.
