The Conference Centre – Light-flooded Modern |
||||
| The Salfeldt’s spacious courtyard is bordered by the former granary. Here the architect Horst von Bassewitz created a high-end conference hall. The newly constructed upper hull of the former granary now houses the auditorium seating up to 400 persons. A curved and partly transparent ceiling sends a flood of indirect warm daylight throughout the room. This hall can also serve as space for exhibitions and fairs, as a concert-hall or cinema, for balls, gala-dinners and receptions. Moreover, it can easily be subdivided into two smaller assemblyhalls. In front of the entrances to the hall and the restaurant, arranged on two levels, there are extended lobbies and galleries with ample space for registration and documentation, catering during coffeebreaks, and –last not least – the essential private lobby-chats. The lobbies also offer access to the baroque part of the centre. |
The architects have achieved a synthesis of old and new architecture whose inspiration bodes well for the important role of the Palais in Quedlinburg as a unique conference-venue. The Palais – Live Rokoko At the height of the baroque epoch some of the best master builders of our region created architectural masterpieces whose design also aimed at optimized acoustics for music. The region was the cradle of baroque music – Bach, Händel, Telemann, and Schütz were some of its now world-famous composers. The Palais Salfeldt boasts a music room embellished by the same excellent Italian stucco craftsmen that had also decorated the feudal halls of Quedlinburg’s towering castle; an elegant setting for exclusive seminars, festive dinners and house concerts. |
