A 19th-century castle restored to its romantic peak as a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel directly on the Moselle River, Schloss Lieser offers 49 individually appointed rooms, a restored chapel for ceremonies, and a Remise that turns into a dance floor for up to 100 guests — with a 4 am curfew that does justice to the setting.
On a broad bend of the Moselle between Bernkastel and Cochem, Schloss Lieser sits directly on the riverbank — a 19th-century castle whose turrets and pale facades are reflected in the water below and framed by the steep slate-soiled vineyard slopes that have made this stretch of river famous. The castle was fully restored and opened as a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, bringing 49 individually appointed rooms into a building that manages to feel genuinely grand without the kind of corporate uniformity that sometimes accompanies a global brand. The restoration preserved the castle chapel, which remains one of the most quietly moving ceremony spaces in the German wine country.
A wedding at Schloss Lieser can take two configurations: the full summer arrangement of up to 100 guests in the Remise, or a slightly more intimate version of 80 with the bridal room and private courtyard woven into the plan. After dinner, the Remise transforms — tables cleared, bar opened — and the curfew is 4 in the morning, which in a village on the Moselle constitutes a quite permissive invitation to celebrate properly. The chapel or the castle park for the ceremony, the river glittering below the terraces during the cocktail hour, the vineyard hills as backdrop to the first dance: the setting does the choreography without being asked.
Enquire about Schloss Lieser →The Remise can host up to 100 guests in the summer configuration. With the addition of a bridal room and private courtyard, the event can accommodate up to 80 guests in a slightly more intimate arrangement.
Couples can choose between an indoor ceremony in the castle's beautifully restored chapel or an outdoor ceremony in the castle park. Both settings overlook the Moselle valley.
Celebrations in the Remise can continue until 4:00 am, which is one of the latest curfews available at comparable German castle venues.
Schloss Lieser has 49 individually appointed guest rooms and suites, all restored within the 19th-century castle building and designed to reflect the grandeur of the original architecture.
