Perched upon the Karbonkelberg Mountain in Hout Bay, the Litchtenstein Castle is something out of a fairytale – with a guarding dragon statue, a tower, high, arched windows, and a ballroom fit for royalty.

Built in 1998, the structure is a replica of the original Gothic Schloss Lichtenstein Castle in southern Germany and although it was once a residence, the castle now functions as an event venue for hire.

The castle’s exterior would not look out of place in a scene of a Disney or Harry Potter movie, and the interior is similar, filled with lavish décor, chandeliers, banquet tables, and medieval-looking flags of crests. Adding to the medieval theme are guards that stand in and around the castle.

With four lavish bedrooms and a honeymoon suite, it can be rented out as a villa for guests to live out their dreams of being a King or Queen and be transported to the past.

The castle can also hired out as a wedding venue or a venue for corporate functions, private events and film and photography shoots.

Bathrooms are equipped with a bathtub for those wanting to unwind like the nobles did. The bathrooms tie in to the colour schemes and styles of the suites.
