The Proschwitz Christmas at Proschwitz Castle will kick off the Advent season from November 26 to 29, 2026, at one of the most beautiful castle complexes in the Dresden Elbland region. Under the motto “Christmas All the Way to the Roof,” the festively decorated castle courtyard and the historic rooms of the castle are transformed into an atmospheric Christmas wonderland full of delights, craftsmanship, and inspiration. The special “Proschwitz flair” stems from the unique combination of the Baroque castle setting, regional wine culture, and high-quality arts and crafts. Artisans, craftspeople, and artists present classic and innovative gift ideas, lovingly crafted one-of-a-kind pieces, and special Christmas decorations. Visitors can explore the exhibitions in the historic castle rooms while enjoying the festive atmosphere of the entire estate. Daily live performances by regional ensembles and choirs, including the Saxony State Mountain Music Corps and the Dimuthea Choir of Dresden, provide atmospheric entertainment. Culinary specialties, selected regional delicacies, as well as wines, sparkling wines, and the popular Proschwitz mulled wine from Saxony’s oldest privately operated winery invite you to indulge. Santa Claus stops by every day for guests of all ages, making a visit to the castle a special Advent experience. The combination of a festively decorated castle, high-quality craftsmanship, a musical program, and Saxon culinary traditions makes the Proschwitz Christmas one of the most extraordinary Christmas markets in the Dresden Elbland region.
