Casselfest

Every second Sunday in August, we celebrate the traditional Cassel Festival in front of Villa Cassel! On this day, our doors are open to locals and vacation guests.
Our open day
In addition to good food and musical entertainment, the historic Villa Cassel and its surroundings can be explored on exciting guided tours. Numerous attractions for young and old are on the program.

A tradition lives on
The Cassel Festival goes back to the builder of the Villa Cassel, Sir Ernest Cassel. He was always keen to maintain friendly contact with the local population and once a year in August invited them to the Villa Cassel for food, drink and dancing.

The festival only takes place in good weather. We provide information about the event on this page on Saturday mornings.
