Castles are usually nice locations for weddings. Of those castles open to the public and allowing weddings, I define three categories:
- very attractive
- so-so
- blah.
I’d put Schloss Lenzburg (Schloss means castle) in category 2.
It lies on a small hill just above the town of Lenzburg near Zurich. You can have your marriage ceremony both outdoors and indoors, even with an option for both: outdoors, and should the weather turn unfavourable, the option to move inside.
Schloss Lenzburg is quite popular for weddings, so be prepared that your wedding party might not be the only one around. The outdoor ceremony takes place on the Bastion, which is just above the Rose Garden. The indoor ceremonies can take place in one of the large halls.
