Once you have stood under such a mighty tree, as under the beech tree in Burgellern Castle, you will never let go.

An impressive beech (Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea) - certainly more than 300 years old - dominates the entrance area of the castle hotel.
Even the builders of the castle knew about the importance of nature. That's why you planted extraordinary trees on the castle grounds. If the beech is still dark red in spring, it turns green in autumn before its leaves fall off. A history like this creates awareness and responsibility for nature and so the owners of the castle plant new greenery for every tree felled and for every intervention in the park. Own bee colonies fertilise the flowers and old fruit varieties can be found in the park.

The effort pays off. Rare birds settle in the castle park, swallows nest on the castle walls and huge beech trees are home to birds of prey such as buzzards, tawny owls and goshawks.

Enjoy this oasis for humans and animals on your next holiday and keep your eyes and ears open.

So far, alcohol has played the biggest role in gastronomy. Menus with wine accompaniment, beer tastings and much more. But we find that this is not a restaurant experience for the anti-alcoholic or for a car driver.
With two new suppliers and numerous new products we would like to create lasting experiences for the restaurant guest who does not want alcohol.

Manufactory Jörg Geiger

With the non-alcoholic Seccos and non-alcoholic still menu companions, we can finally offer our menus with a non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment.
The non-alcoholic Seccos are in no way inferior to a traditional sparkling wine or Secco and whet the appetite for more.

Lemonaid+ and Charitea

Lemonaid just made the headlines because the drink could not be called lemonade because the sugar content was too low.
Nevertheless, the authorities allowed it, and so our guests can enjoy a trendy "big city lemonade", fairly traded, regionally produced, with organic ingredients and without additives.

In addition, we also have four different types of iced tea which are sweetened only with agave syrup or honey.

Wonderfully refreshing and with every bottle sold, social projects are supported - drinking helps!

Dear friends of Burgellern Castle!

At some point you have to say goodbye.

On 31.12.2018 we unfortunately had to say goodbye to our "good soul" in the restaurant.

After many years of work, she is now going into well-earned retirement.


Official farewell
(from left to right: Peter Jungermayr, Angi Horn, Joachim Kastner, Carola Müller)

With our retirement, a small era also ends for us. Mrs. Horn already started her late training in our hotel in Bayreuth 30 years ago and since then she has been indispensable. Happy for us that we were able to win them over again after the takeover and renovation of Burgellern Castle.

The whole Kastner family, but also all employees, associate Mrs. Horn with years of exclusively positive memories.

None of us can imagine what it will be like without her yet, but we will not lose contact and wish her all the best in her new home - Berlin.

Overwhelming success of the apprentice tombola

At this year's Christmas market at Burgellern Castle, the proceeds of a tombola organized by our trainees and the training manager Carola Müller were donated to the Sternstunden campaign.
Despite bad weather almost everyone wanted to turn our wheel of fortune and win one of the coveted prizes. Since every turn on the wheel of fortune promised a profit, all prizes were awarded after a few hours and our trainees (in the picture on the right trainee Jessica Pickel, on the left Carola Müller) could achieve a net profit of 500 euros.
Our whole team from Schloss Burgellern would like to thank all participants again and is happy that the prize will hopefully contribute to many star moments for children.

Pictures of littered beaches and animals with plastic straws in their airways have induced us to banish as much plastic as possible from the hotel and gastronomy.
In a first step, we will be doing without all straws (approx. 10,000 per year after all) by 1 October 2018. In addition, stirring sticks, coffee-to-go cups, plastic lids, plastic bags and coffee biscuits in plastic packaging will also be abolished. A glass drinking tube to replace the plastic straws is currently being tested.

"However, I think that our cocktails and soda will taste just as good as before, even without a straw," says Joachim Kastner, managing director of Schloss Burgellern: "Even if all the waste ends up in the incinerator at our company, we still have to set a good example. But we also do this for our native animals. So we have already found straws and plastic as tree material in bird nests in our castle park."

The renunciation of plastic is a big challenge in the hotel and gastronomy industry. On the one hand, hygiene naturally plays a major role, but so do legal requirements. In addition, many products are individually packaged by the industry to achieve greater profit margins. Especially on the breakfast buffet, one usually finds individually packed butter, jam or sausage.

At Burgellern Castle we have been working here for years on a plastic-free breakfast. We succeeded in doing this with one exception: the popular Nutella. But here, too, we are working on an alternative solution.
