Pöllau Castle Advent

Enjoy the pre-Christmas season at Pöllau Castle

Experience a contemplative Advent with gentle candlelight and a sea of lights in the fir forest. Stroll through the atmospheric exhibition with over 40 exhibitors – from artistic crafts to regional delicacies.
In the idyllic fountain courtyard, you can linger over warm food and drinks, feel the magic of the Christmas season, and unwind, all without the hustle and bustle.
For the young and old guests, a small, fine Advent – just as "it used to be".
