A journey back in time to the Middle Ages: the grounds of Sommeregg Castle in Seeboden are once again transformed into a village of knights with a market and much more. 

What Frank Rieder has created in his era as lord of Sommeregg Castle in Seeboden is probably unique. "I was inspired to open a torture museum in Italy," recalls Riegler: "I was ridiculed at the time - many people thought it wouldn't work." And how it did! The castle is now known far beyond the borders of the country - including the knights' games, which the Seeboden native brought to life.

And they have something new to offer every year. "Also because of our many regular guests," says Riegler, who bought the castle a good 30 years ago and is now hosting the 26th Knights' Festival. "We used to celebrate for three days. Now it lasts three weeks because it's so well received," says a delighted Rieder, who chooses his artists carefully.

"Look at the faces of the guests"
"During the performance, I look at the faces of the guests. If they are enthusiastic and amazed, then so am I with my selection." The castle grounds are once again transformed into a lively medieval village. It started on Tuesday! Until August 18, a total of 40 artists and warriors will be providing medieval highlights from Tuesday to Sunday! Food and drink are also provided.
