Summer concerts at Barntrup Castle

In every performance, the work must be reborn.

Such a birth in the Knights' Hall of Barntrup Castle attending 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 with Barntrup Castle Foundation with the Detmold University of Music Organised for this purpose, soloists and ensembles currently in training apply and demonstrate their incredible talents time and time again.
