Season Finale and Highlight of 2025
The scent of roasted almonds drifts through the ancient walls. Fruity punch and aromatic mulled wine warm both hands and soul! In the courtyards and in front of the castle, torches illuminate the bustling market while the enchanting live music of the Gasslspieler sets the mood. Over 60 exhibitors await you, making gift shopping easy—BURGADVENT is an experience in itself. Of course, we also take great care of your culinary delights—whether sweet, savory, vegetarian, or with meat and fish—you will love it!
The fairytale hour with Dena Seidl on the castle terrace enchants both young and old. And naturally, the Wolves of Dunkelstein stand watch over the festivities in their medieval armor and robes! Alpacas are also a must… those eyelashes!
Blacksmithing & Fortune Telling
Every evening at 6 PM, the sky lights up as the popular fireworks display bathes the castle in magnificent colors!
Attention dog owners: Fireworks can be loud—please consider dogs are not allowed during the event.
Our shuttle buses conveniently take you from Aggstein up to the castle and back down: € 3.50 per person for a round trip.
Tickets for the market and the shuttle bus are available in our ticket shop!
Some exhibitors accept card payments, but most do not. Please bring enough cash. The nearest ATMs are in Melk and Mautern.
We are SO excited for the festival—and for YOU!
