Summer Concerts at Barntrup Castle

In every performance, the work must be reborn.

Witnessing such a birth in the Knights' Hall of Barntrup Castle leaves a lasting impression. The hall's unique acoustics can be experienced every summer during three classical music concerts. With almost no artificial lighting, the windows overlooking the summer greenery of the park provide a stage for the performers. The performances have been taking place since 2022.

The concerts are organised in cooperation between the Stiftung Schloss Barntrup (Barntrup Castle Foundation) and the Detmold University of Music. Soloists and ensembles currently in training demonstrate their incredible talents.
