Description

Why not plan your next family reunion against the backdrop of a historic castle? The winner of this lot will travel to the majestic Hamm Castle, situated in the beautiful South Eifel region of Germany, amidst pristine nature and a gorgeous climate. Bordered by the Mosel River in the south and the Rhine in the east (both famous German wine regions), Hamm Castle is an approximate two hour drive from Frankfurt, as well as Brussels, and is a quick 45 minute drive from Luxembourg.

The grounds of this impressive castle, which date back to the 14th century, comprise of a main building bordered by two high defense towers, a chapel, substructures with a late-Romanic vault, a gothic hall, and other historic buildings. Currently, it is the home of the family of Grafen von und zu Westerholt und Gysenberg (Earls of Westerholt and Gysenberg), but for a few days, you can be king of the castle.

The castle’s two accompanying apartments, located in the inner courtyard of the castle grounds, will provide space for up to a maximum of 14 people, offering the perfect opportunity for a family reunion or the chance to bring your extended family along for this once in a lifetime experience.

For those who love sports and the outdoors, in 10 to 20 minutes, you can drive to one of three beautiful golf courses and challenge your family members to a golf tournament. Or if you prefer the water, within walking distance of the castle is a gorgeous lake, Stausee Bitburg, which offers a wide range of activities such as windsurfing, fishing, rowing, paddle boats, and more. Don’t lose out on this unique offering!

Valid for four days and three nights during the last two weeks of July.
