The biggest lantern festival in Northern Europe

From the moment you step in, the journey reveals its uniqueness: giant structures, dreamlike scenes, visual and sound installations create a delightful atmosphere in a 11-hectare park filled with fascinating creatures. At Castel Novel, the light isn't just something to gaze at: it tells stories, brings things to life, and wraps you in its glow.
