meetings & events
Gate function for the guests at the entrance of the upper Ennepetal - this is how the director of the Museum of Archeology in Herne, Dr. Stefan Leenen, Ahlhausen during his last visit, which served the archaeological investigation of the building ensemble of Schloss Ahlhausen, the location of Ahlhausen in the adjacent environment to the Märkisches and Bergisches Land. People who travel to Schloss Ahlhausen for conferences and events often describe it like this: when they have driven through urban areas for a long time coming from the Ruhr area, their arrival in Ahlhausen is like the beginning of a completely unexpected landscape. In fact, here you can arrive where “landscape” begins. You can physically experience it in the rippling river or in the rustling of the old oak trees in the nearby forest, whose foliage you can see and feel from the conference rooms. But it will also be the deliberately left background scenery of the medieval fortifications in their early baroque castle conversion on Ahlhausen that deepens this physical arrival in the landscape into an inner perception.
And that is exactly what makes Schloss Ahlhausen a special conference venue - perfect for people who want to pursue things and connections in their professional or private lives. Conferences and events in Ahlhausen therefore find the denser atmosphere here in a mindful togetherness and of course Schloss Ahlhausen is therefore not a usual conference house with an "annual program" that uses all the clocks to the max - no, care is taken to ensure that smaller groups of up to approx. A maximum of 16 people, always alone, using and enlivening the conference rooms in Ahlhausen, settling in, and being able to "breathe" the place.
Within this framework, larger companies or organizations can therefore only apply for the use of the conference facilities at Schloss Ahlhausen for their training or further education courses here on an annual basis. Because it is simply enriching when conference guests come back for more than a year (always) and in the end were able to really get to know and experience Ahlhausen as a part of their home.
