The Count’s Castle Festival – 20 Years of Tradition on Mainau Island

This fall, the Baroque Mainau Castle will once again open its doors for the Count’s Castle Festival – and 2026 marks a special occasion to celebrate: Mainau Island is hosting this time-honored festival for the 20th time.

Look forward to four days full of style, inspiration, and special discoveries in the historic setting of the castle. Selected exhibitors will present fashion, jewelry, accessories, and other beautiful items in the castle rooms, which will be open exclusively for the event.

This year, too, a varied supporting program awaits you, featuring music, lectures, and special insights into life on Mainau Island. A highlight is the popular Countess’s Hat Fashion Show featuring the latest creations from the studio of Diana Countess Bernadotte in the White Hall.

You can also enjoy special moments in the historic wine cellar, discover the castle from new perspectives, and let yourself be enchanted by the island’s autumnal charm.

The detailed program for the anniversary castle festival will be published shortly.

As of March 2026, subject to change
