ART & CULTURE
AT GOLLING CASTLE
A DIVERSE ART & CULTURAL
PROGRAM THAT LEAVES NOTHING
TO BE DESIRED
Movement creates change. The first solo concerts by members
of the Vienna Philharmonic took place at Döllerer’s in 1998/99.
By 2000, the idea was born to organize a series of five concerts
at Golling Castle. These chamber music concerts, also involving
board members Clemens Hellsberg, Peter Pecha, and Martin
Kubik, drew 40 guests per performance. The harmonious
music accompanied by the atmospheric ambiance of the castle
courtyard and the delectable culinary highlights of Döllerer
cuisine inspired the fascination of concert guests even further.
They demanded more.
The „Small Festivals“ grew, became more diverse, and found
increasing popularity amongst festival audiences. Renowned
musicians and legends of the stage, both actors and singers, stir
the hearts of festival attendees with their performances year
after year. Today, up to 300 people attend a single performance,
and the number of events has increased to 20 during each
summer festival season. The culinary backdrop provided by
Döllerer‘s Genusswelten always delights a significant number
of festival guests, and those „Small Festivals“ have now melded
into the „Art & Culinary Festival.“
A DIVERSE OFFERING
Golling Castle offers numerous events, concerts, and activities
throughout the year in addition to those of the Golling Festival.
These include traditional evenings of folk music, the legendary
Star Cinema, and concerts such as a Rockin’ Evening with
Rusty. Its prime location in the heart of Salzburger Land makes
Golling Castle a unique cultural and event hub in Tennengau.
