Touch of last century's glamour in Majvik Castle
Majvik Castle is a unique place for festive lunches, gala dinners, and theme events and celebrations. The entire Castle is for your exclusive use, and it can only be booked for private use. Which of the halls you want to dine in depends on the number of attendees.
The Baroque Hall, named after its distinctive furniture, features a long table that accommodates up to 20 people. In addition, eight diners fit at the round table in the Baroque Hall's oriel window.
At Yellow Hall, you'll find five round tables that can hold seven persons each. The Yellow Hall has a large doorway that opens onto the Baroque Hall, so the facilities are almost joined.
Once dined, you can enjoy coffee or cognac in the Castle's upper hall. The upper gallery also features a wedding suite and a "mother-in-law" room, accommodating up to three people.
Please note that Majvik Castle is undergoing renovation from 2025 to 2026.
