ARDEN CLASSIC DAY 2026

A Passion for Cars at Burg Zelem

 

The morning mist slowly lifts from the meadows, and the late-summer sun casts its golden light across the countryside. The first gleaming chrome vehicles make their way up to Burg Zelem.

A day among like-minded people awaits you—a day for drivers, collectors, and car enthusiasts.

On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the time has finally come again: owners and friends of classic automobiles will gather at the historic knight’s residence of Zelem Castle in Kranenburg-Mehr, nestled in the cultural landscape of Düffelt in the Lower Rhine region.

At “Arden Classic Day,” not only classic cars, modern classics, and motorcycles are welcome, but also classic automobiles from other brands.

 

A special focus in 2026 will be on the Arden AJ 6 2+2 Coupé.

The distinctive Arden, based on the Jaguar XJ-S, remains a symbol of elegant lines, technical innovation, and individual design to this day.

 

Sunday, September 13, 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

 

Admission is free!

 

However, with a voluntary donation, you can support the Burg Zelem Foundation and thus help preserve one of the region’s most iconic architectural landmarks.

 

We look forward to receiving your registration via email at [email protected]

 

 

Burg Zelem Zelemerweg 15 47559 Kranenburg
