Film Projects At Castle Waldenburg
Since its reactivation as a public cultural institution in 2000, castle Waldenburg has also been a popular film setting. From 1948 to 1998, the castle was used as a medical institution and experienced structural adaptions during this period which have been stepwise dismantled since 2005. The predominant majority of a luxurious and historically significant interior design from 1859 to 1912 remained almost unmodified despite the hospital use.
This exciting mix of historically authentic rooms of various styles, converted to suit the need of a hospital and the variety of partly unused areas under one roof, surrounded by an english park, often perfectly meets the needs of the industry.
The listing of castle Waldenburg in the location guide of the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM) presents all specifications (photo gallery, technical and arial conditions) of castle Waldenburg as a film location. The MDM supports productions and makes it possible to find the right setting or filming location.
Schloss Waldenburg is also popular as a backdrop for photo shoots.
The listing of castle Waldenburg complex in the MDM Film Commission's Location Guide since November 2010 presents all specifications (photogallery, technical and spatial conditions) of castle Waldenburg as a filming location.
