Winter Wonderland at Schloss Mondsee

Winter Wonderland at Schloss Mondsee 2026

The Winter Wonderland in the courtyard of Schloss Mondsee is not a market in the classic sense but the warm finish to an Advent visit: the historic courtyard glows, the show kitchen serves baked potatoes, buchteln and Kaiserschmarrn, with punch from the Benediktus hut and festive drinks from the Castello Bar. Because the entrance sits right by the Advent market, the two combine in one evening, and the Winter Wonderland stays open until 3 January.
