The year 2026 has barely started when the planning for the upcoming holidays begins. While January is still characterized by cold weather, February will warm our hearts faster than we can look – and with love. One day in particular is worth paying attention to early on: the day of romance. Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to show our favorite person how much they mean to us in a special way. Flowers and chocolate are a nice start – but it’s a shared experience that makes the day truly unforgettable. A dinner is one of the classics, but when it takes place outside the city, in the setting of a historically impressive castle, it becomes something very special. We have a wonderful tip for just that: Schloss Ziethen, just 45 minutes from Berlin in Brandenburg, has prepared an exclusive Valentine’s Day special for all lovers on February 14, 2026 – perfect for a romantic getaway from everyday life.
February 14 falls perfectly on a Saturday this year – ideal for enjoying Valentine’s Day in peace and quiet. Schloss Ziethen is offering a romantic rose menu for the occasion, which can be wonderfully combined with a prayer service in the neighboring village church. This special combination gives the evening a deeper, symbolic meaning and makes it an unforgettable experience that takes romance to a whole new level.
In the prayer service with a personal blessing, your love is given a dignified setting of gratitude, connection and trust. Candlelight, silence, high vaults and organ sounds in the village church of Groß-Ziethen (Evangelical parish of Kremmen) at 6 pm invite you to pause and consciously appreciate your own relationship. The blessing gives Valentine’s Day a special depth. In the noble castle, you will move between history, silence and love. The rose menu in the light-flooded orangery can be reserved between 17:30 and 21:00. For €64 per person, you can enjoy a 3-course menu, which is romantically kicked off with a glass of sparkling wine and then served by chef Matthias Lingner.
Don’t want this special evening to end? Then a Valentine’s Day overnight stay in the castle will round off your experience perfectly. The next morning, you can enjoy a romantic breakfast in a historic setting and relive the magic of the evening.
For all hopeless romantics looking for another highlight, a candlelight concert is the perfect addition: you can let yourselves fall completely into musical love stories to the soulful sounds of Hans Zimmer, Céline Dion or Elton John.
