As at all courts, parties and balls were an integral part of politics and a tool for the self-presentation of a prince-bishop. So where would our Great Masked Ball be better suited than in the beautiful baroque town of Eichstätt. This time we will populate the beautiful rooms of the Prince-Bishop's Residence and many other beautiful places in Eichstätt and fill them with historical splendor.

So let yourself be transported back in time. Experience an evening in the style of the 18th century with gallantry, etiquette, charm and pleasure. Loss yourself in the play of masks. In the 18th century, the Carnival of Venice was at its peak, only interrupted by Lent, people indulged in a frenzy of celebrations and a lavish lifestyle, which only came to an abrupt end with Napoleon's conquest.

The lavish lifestyle of the Rococo is just a last flash of light that captivates the whole of Europe. And it is also a game of love... few things are as tempting and mysterious as the sparkle of the eyes behind a mask. Experience it, live it yourself...

A grand divertissement with masks and in historical costume, with games and dance and all the temptations of court life.
