Is exclusively a hotel for overnight stays after a family celebration (wedding, etc.) with catering from our own hotel kitchen and breakfast buffet.Went there for a wedding followed by an overnight stay.Simple and rustic. A beautiful castle from the 12th century.

A beautiful location for a wedding. It was also a great performance by the staff. It started to rain and we had to quickly turn back into the hall. It would have been nice in the yard too, but unfortunately the weather was against it.

Scharfenberg Castle is always worth a trip and we are always happy to recommend it on a variety of occasions!We were now able to celebrate a dream wedding there and were welcomed by professionals. All agreements were patiently accepted by the catering team at all times and implemented wonderfully. The food never left anything to be desired, was absolutely appropriate to the standard of a wedding and was widely praised. The castle stands alone as a location and accommodation, is simply beautiful and has been artfully preserved in many places or has been individually shaped by the lord of the castle. The only two downsides were the rather misleading communication with the housekeeper regarding room allocation - which can also be solved easily and the cold showers in the morning, as the hot water ran out quite quickly for many guests.Otherwise a GREAT recommendation for anyone looking for something special!

Fantastic place in the middle of the Elbe valley and somewhat hidden in the forest above the B6 in Scharfenberg. With great attention to detail, the lord of the castle has created a fantastic location for wedding celebrations here over many years. The historical views have not been preserved, e.g. the old black kitchen. It's amazing what you can discover there. 🥰👍🙏Update June 9, 2024👰🤵❤️:Of course we chose Scharfenberg Castle as our wedding location and after our big day we were simply blown away. The catering team around Markus and Annett are awesome. Service and food are at star level and the location speaks for itself. It was a dream day that you made unforgettable with your great work. We bow to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️Kind regards Doreen & Henri

Dear Schloss Scharfenberg team, we had an absolute dream wedding with you and our guests were also enchanted. The rustic ambience and the absolutely individually and lovingly designed rooms did the rest.The food in general was an absolute delight, whether at breakfast or at the buffet in the evening. The organization was also very good and the arrangements worked very well!

The castle has been lovingly and faithfully restored. The tour was entertaining and informative at the same time and the cuisine was simply top notch!

A very nice WEB site. A hotel without “EVERYTHING”, without WiFi, without TV, without a kitchen (or restaurant). This can be very relaxing. At the entrance there is just a sign hanging up. The courtyard area still needs some sprucing up....the view is phenomenal.NO overnight stay...so no further review.
