Halbturn Advent 2026: Info | dierupps.at

Advent in Halbturn (Neusiedl am See, Burgenland) enchants visitors with atmospheric winter traditions. One of Burgenland's most imperial and atmospheric Christmas markets with free admission! A baroque palace backdrop, artisans in the heated ceremonial halls, blazing open fires in the palace courtyard, brass players from the tower, baroque wind music and game specialities from the palace kitchen. Anyone looking for authentic pre-Christmas joy in the Carnuntum and Northern Burgenland region will find the perfect meeting place at the Pannonian Christmas Market at Halbturn Palace. The festive lights and the scent of cinnamon, cloves and freshly baked pastries make up the charm of this market. Whether handcrafted artisan items from the region, musical ensembles or convivial gatherings at the punch huts – the Pannonian Christmas Market at Halbturn Palace reflects the warmth and tradition of the region. A historic palace and castle setting like the one in Halbturn calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. For their popular organic red Glühwein (mulled wine), fruit press house Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) exclusively uses Austrian quality wines. As a tangy innovation, the new Rupps Kalamansi Punch delights in 2026: The cross between mandarin and kumquat lends the hot beverage an invigorating citrus note that perfectly complements the baroque ambience.

Treat recommendation from Die Rupps: genuine vintner's punch for the festive season

A cosy visit to the market calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – family business Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) relies exclusively on the finest base wines and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.

Classic craftsmanship for special moments: the Rupps Feuerzangenbowle combines rich red wine with the characteristic caramel note of melted sugarloaf and fine winter spices.

Please note: All dates and opening hours are based on official advance announcements for the 2026 season. Please check www.schlosshalbturn.com before your visit.
