Schlosshotel Münchhausen is a moated Weser Renaissance castle in Lower Saxony, dating to 1570, run as a five-star hotel with 67 suites and rooms, a chapel and registry pavilion for ceremonies, and a banqueting hall for up to 180 seated guests.
Schloss Schwöbber, the castle behind the hotel, goes back to 1570 and is a moated Weser Renaissance building standing in its own park in the Weserbergland, near Aerzen and Hameln. Hanover Airport is about fifty minutes away by car. It opened as a five-star hotel in 2004 with 67 suites and rooms, a Michelin-starred kitchen and a golf course in the surrounding landscape.
For weddings the house offers a choice of ceremonies: a civil ceremony in a pavilion in front of the castle, with room for around thirty further guests, or a church-style service in the castle's own chapel. Champagne receptions follow on the terraces and in the park. The hotel has twelve event rooms in all. The Festsaal, a banqueting hall of 404 square metres, seats up to 180 guests at round tables. Smaller rooms suit more private meals: the first-floor Salon Belvedere under its stucco ceiling takes 54, the Venetian Room, with eighteenth-century wall paintings and large mirrors, takes 32, and the vaulted wine cellar room takes 24.
