A small chapel constructed of natural stone and wood, flooded by daylight and idyllically located in our park-like gardens – this is the Confideum, the location for weddings on the Lower Rhine. Here up to 70 guests can enjoy a personal and stylish setting for weddings, celebrations, exhibitions or award ceremonies. The choice of name is no accident of course: Confideum is based on "confidere", the Latin word for "trust".
A registry office? Yes – and a particularly beautiful one!
This out-of-the-ordinary wedding venue in North Rhine-Westphalia was created in 2008. Since then many people have officially said "I do" at the Voshövel. The Schermbeck registry office holds weddings at the Confideum on six days a week: on Monday to Wednesday until 17.00, on Thursday until 18.00 and then by agreement on Friday and Saturday.
Wood, natural stone, light - the wedding venue on the Lower Rhine
Unadorned elegance and stylish romance come together in this little chapel to form a harmonic whole, with the glass roof sections creating wonderful lighting effects. The large areas of glass at the front can also be opened up almost completely, and flood the room with daylight. This enables large groups, too, to follow the ceremony in front of the chapel – on a screen and using the external loudspeakers.
A work of art for eternity
Something unique, even a piece of eternity, can be found outside of the chapel: a wedding sculpture created by prestigious artist in metals Ulrich Kuhlmann. Two intertwined rings made of corten steel – like a prone figure eight – symbolise togetherness for all eternity. Couples can place an engraved ring of brass on the sculpture, themselves, thus becoming part of an eternal work of art with a token of their love.
Wedding ceremonies with a difference
The Confideum Schermbeck is located on the 'Skulpturenweg', separately from the events rooms and embedded in the large gardens of the Landhotel. Because of its special ambience this small chapel is also the ideal venue for exhibitions, ceremonies and meditations. The chapel is also available for wedding ceremonies in accordance with other faiths. For more information please see www.wer-traut-uns.de and www.lebensfeiern.de.
