Winter magic Herrenhausen

29.10.2025 - 02.11.2025
13:00 - 19:00
Herrenhausen Palace Museum

Garlands of light, decorated Christmas trees and the scent of roasted almonds and hot punch transform the palace's proud Court of Honour, the gallery and the magnificent avenue into a fairytale-like stage for the pre-Christmas market at Herrenhausen Palace. Mulled wine, biscuits, arts and crafts, Christmas decorations, beautiful things for a cosy home and countless gift ideas - in short, everything that warms the body and soul will delight visitors young and old. From Wednesday onwards, around 130 exhibitors await visitors with their lovingly selected range of products. And of course the Winterzauber is also open on the public holiday, 31 October! Highlight: Illumination in the Great Garden Of course, the Winter Magic is also about enjoyment. The aroma of roasted almonds will reach visitors from afar. As always, the culinary offerings in front of the castle are very tempting. The finest almond nougat, winter stollen, lard cake and - almost obligatory for this time of year - fresh Baumkuchen and hot chestnuts will get you in the mood for winter. The savoury delights are in no way inferior. Visitors can already look forward to delicious game burgers, raclette specialities and Finnish flamed salmon, as well as a wonderfully warming apple punch. This year's highlight is the Great Garden, which is open to all Winterzauber visitors free of charge from 4.30 pm. As soon as dusk falls, a wonderfully atmospheric illumination bathes the large baroque garden in a romantic light. The nostalgic carousel and the stilt walkers will also make the hearts of young and old beat faster again. Tickets are available on all days at the box office or in advance online.
