Schloss Ettlingen – a unique historic venue with beautifully appointed rooms, perfect for making your event truly memorable.
Ettlingen, in northern Baden, is a popular holiday destination where you and your guests will feel at home immediately. Conveniently located between Baden-Baden and Karlsruhe, it’s a European hub and an ideal place for planning a varied and engaging social programme alongside your main event. Ettlingen is renowned for its historic old town, museums, Schloss Festival, and acclaimed local cuisine. It also offers easy access to the northern Black Forest, as well as nearby Alsace and the Palatinate.
But Schloss Ettlingen is far more than a stately home. You’ll be entering a magnificent Baroque palace that began its life in the 13th century, as a castle. In 1727, it was transformed into a lavish Baroque residence by the visionary Countess Sibylla Augusta, and today it provides a stylish and distinctive setting for special events.
Its artistically decorated rooms provide the perfect setting for all kinds of events – whether you're planning a romantic wedding, an inspiring seminar, an unforgettable concert, or a thought-provoking conference.
The modern Schlossgartenhalle (Palace Garden Hall), seamlessly connected to the palace, offers a striking contrast to the Baroque splendour of the main building. With seating for up to 700 guests, it’s the ideal space for large-scale events. It’s the perfect venue for bringing your vision to life – whether you’re planning a spectacular light show or seeking state-of-the-art sound quality. “Great meetings, great celebrations”: our motto comes to life in the form of cutting-edge conference technology that supports your event from start to finish.
A small yet well-equipped service area is available for preparing and serving your meals – with full disabled access.
Ettlingen also offers a variety of excellent venues for additional events: a modern town hall, a bright and airy Bürgerkeller bar, a fully renovated Bürgerhalle (Civic Hall), an iconic casino and the Waldsaumhalle (Forest Hall) in Ettlingen-Oberweier, set amidst lush countryside.
Our dedicated team will provide all the services you require – from a conference office and comprehensive AV and media facilities to fully customised, personalised support. Using state-of-the-art technology, we’ll help you deliver an exceptional event.
And the best part? You can enhance your event with exciting incentives and a social programme. Explore the picturesque surroundings with a trip to Frauenalb, Bad Herrenalb or the Black Forest. Take on a challenge at the “Gate” high ropes tower, enjoy a wine tasting, or relax with a cold beer from the artisan Vogel brewery.
Schloss Ettlingen is an ideal venue for a wide range of events, with six halls — some recently renovated and accommodating 10 to 200 guests — as well as the spacious Schlossgartenhalle (Castle Garden Hall), suitable for up to 700 delegates. Whether it’s a company celebration, a conference, a private banquet, a trade fair, a concert or a meeting – we’re here to bring your ideas to life.
Let’s work together and create unforgettable moments that will inspire your guests.
