On the night of 1 May, not only traditional
 May customs are revived, such as the lighting of the May fire to drive away evil spirits, the May dance or the May leap. Here at Satzvey Castle, Patricia Gräfin Beissel GmbH offers a spectacular evening programme including a medieval witches' market in a state-of-the-art setting. Under the open sky, in the shadow of the castle courtyards and in the mystical lighting of the medieval moated castle, they stage a unique open-air programme, which is not just for lovers of the medieval genre. At midnight on the dot, the largest May bonfire in the Rhineland is lit in the castle park.

The Witches' Night at Satzvey Castle on 30 April is an annual event for fans of old May customs, mysticism and music. Dressed up as witches and wizards, they come in droves from all over Germany to experience a spectacular evening programme with a wide variety of bands and to dance around the huge May bonfire. Throughout the evening, imaginative witches wreak havoc in the nooks and crannies of the castle grounds and provide many a surprise. Fancy dress is encouraged! Please note that it is not permitted to bring weapons of any kind (as defined by the Weapons Act) or drinks.
