Advent experiences in Thurgau

Every year it is just around the corner: the contemplative season of Advent. The smell of mulled wine wafts through the streets and baking biscuits is on the agenda. The atmospheric pre-Christmas period with the many fairy lights adorning the streets and houses really gets you looking forward to Christmas. Here are a few ideas for more Christmas magic during the Advent season.

Oh you imperial Christmas season

Fine, festive and imperial - this is how Arenenberg presents itself during Advent. Arenenberg Castle with the Napoleon Museum shines in festive splendor. On the Advent Sundays on December 7, 14 and 21, 2025, atmospheric experiences await you: the popular Arenenberg Advent brunch, wine tastings as well as culinary and musical delicacies. The Napoleon Museum awaits you in festive decorations, and a magical nativity scene lends it a touch of Christmas magic. By prior arrangement, children can dress up in historical costumes and experience Napoleon's history up close. A short concert in the castle chapel is also planned.
