About the market
The Burgweihnacht at Burg Satzvey has for many years been one of the outstanding historic Christmas markets of the Eifel. The festive atmosphere with its glow of lights, Christmas scents and the historic ambience of the castle makes for a unique experience. At the market stalls, traders offer handmade goods and regional specialities, including wooden toys, Christmas tree decorations, nativity scenes, soaps and incense. A particular highlight is the medieval nativity play, which has been performed several times a day in the castle park for almost three decades. The scenes are presented in Latin and Middle High German and translated into German by a proclaimer. For children there is Father Christmas's workshop, where they can write their wish lists and hand them to Father Christmas in person. The Burgweihnacht serves to preserve the castle and is maintained by the family of the Counts Beissel von Gymnich under the guiding principle "Erhaltung durch Unterhaltung" (preservation through entertainment). Further events throughout the year are also worth a visit.
