SUMMER. NIGHT. MUSIC. at Nordkirchen Castle

A magnificent castle, fireworks in the sky, a picnic on the lawn and classical music: for more than 20 years, the large open-air music festival at Schloss Nordkirchen has been one of the cultural highlights of the region and delights numerous spectators every year.

It is a summer evening full of contrasts: The baroque castle in the background, the classical sounds of the orchestra and the cosy picnic in the open air demonstrate the diversity of this multi-faceted event. The castle concert is accompanied by fascinating illuminations and impressive light choreographies.
