About the serviceprovider

ZEHNERHAUS Bad Radkersburg – Where history meets inspiration

In the heart of the old town of Bad Radkersburg, nestled in a charming region with a southern flair, lies the ZEHNERHAUS – an exceptional conference center that uniquely combines tradition and modernity.

Here, centuries-old vaults meet contemporary furnishings, and architectural heritage merges with modern elements to create an inspiring venue for events of all kinds. Whether seminars, workshops, concerts, or creative formats – the ZEHNERHAUS offers the perfect setting with 12 uniquely designed rooms on three levels.

Two large halls meet the highest standards of technology and spatial feel, while smaller rooms with historical charm create a special atmosphere. The excellent location directly at the main square, as well as the proximity to the park spa and thermal hotel industry, make every event at the ZEHNERHAUS a special experience.

The diversity of our house is reflected not only in the architecture but also in the events that take place here – vibrant, creative, musical.

We are particularly pleased that the big.band.festival will fill the house with top-notch music for six days – and we are excited to welcome you!

A special house in the middle of a special city.
That is the ZEHNERHAUS.
