A wedding at Walpersdorf Castle combines history, elegance and modern comfort. The Renaissance castle from 1571 impresses with its architecture and gives couples and their guests a singular backdrop. Thanks to its Lower Austrian setting and versatile use, it's among the most popular venues in the region.
History and architecture
Walpersdorf Castle was built in 1571 in the Renaissance style and has outlasted many eras since. Its elegant architecture, the historic forecourt and lovingly restored details make it a jewel in Lower Austria. Today the castle serves as a cultural centre and event location; careful restoration preserves the historic heritage while modern elements ensure the highest comfort for events.
Rooms for the wedding
- Great Hall: 230 m² for up to 150 people, fine wooden floor, tall windows and a ceiling height of 4.5 metres. Perfect for festive dinners and dancing.
- Column Room: 165 m² with a vaulted ceiling, two-tone natural-stone floor and rounded arches, for up to 100 guests. Also as a reception room or dance floor.
- Castle Church: right on the grounds, around 120 seats, for civil and church ceremonies.
- Historic park: sprawling, with old trees and a permanently installed pagoda tent for buffets or dancing outdoors.
Ceremony in the castle and the park
Civil and church ceremonies take place directly in the castle church. In addition, free ceremonies are possible in the park or the interior rooms, a lovely flexibility for individual concepts. The ornate interior of the church and the historic setting make every ceremony special.
Cuisine, technology and service
The Lederleitner team provides in-house catering, from a festive menu to a flying buffet, seasonally attuned and, on request, vegan, vegetarian or regional. A wine pairing of local wines can be booked directly. The technical basics include a sound system, stage, lecterns and radio microphones, with a tech team on request. Add to that extras like terrace receptions, candy and salty bars, coffee and cocktail stations, children’s corners and parking for up to 200 vehicles.
Staying over and the surroundings
Several hotels and guesthouses are close by, and on request the team arranges a shuttle between accommodation and the castle. The region around Walpersdorf rewards a longer stay: Göttweig Abbey, Grafenegg Castle and the town of Krems for culture, the Wachau with cycling along the Danube and hiking trails through the vineyards for nature. Ideal if your guests stay a whole weekend.

Planning and organisation
Viewings are possible year-round by appointment, and the Lederleitner team advises on planning, menu, decoration and technology. For individual concepts the castle works with Julian Amenth · Weddings & Events, who oversees weddings personally from the first idea to delivery, on request with wedding stewards keeping the day itself running smoothly. His couples share how that feels in the wedding soundbites. Lederleitner's in-house floristry, or alternatively Blumen Doll Vienna, provides the matching arrangements. For external catering, Schwarzhirsch Catering is a proven choice, and fine table linen comes from Mali Bernholtz at the TableClothShop.
