Furrstein

Furrstein is an 18+ furry convention staged inside a historic castle near Jindřichovice, in the Czech Republic. Organized by KRAZ z.s., it's a medieval-themed con where attendees actually sleep within the castle walls and the weekend leans into feasts, armor, and fire.

2027: Dates To Be Announced

No 2027 dates, venue or prices have been announced. After the 2026 edition the organizers said only that the next one will again travel back to medieval times. The three editions so far all ran on the first weekend of September at the Castle and Fort Jindřichovice, and the 2026 edition sold out well before it opened, so watch the convention's Telegram channel, where it announces first.

Why Attend?

Furrstein is a genuinely unusual con: instead of a hotel ballroom, it takes over a centuries-old castle and fort, and it commits hard to the setting. Every edition carries a medieval theme, and the programming matches, a "gustation" feast cooked by historical-fencing guilds, in-character armorers, archery, and a closing fire show. Attendees stay inside the historic buildings themselves. For 18+ furries who want their weekend wrapped in stone walls and storybook atmosphere, few cons anywhere match it.

What Are the Highlights of Furrstein?

• Castle Setting: A genuine historic castle and fort, with on-site lodging in the buildings themselves.
• Medieval Feast: A "gustation" banquet cooked by historical-fencing guilds.
• Shows Written for the Con: The resident knights stage a performance built around each year's theme, plus a late fire show.
• In-Character Atmosphere: Armorers, archery, a furdance, and the Múspellheim campfire in the castle garden.
• Themed Editions: A new medieval or fantasy theme each year.

How Do I Get to Furrstein?

By air: The nearest major airport is Prague (PRG); the castle is roughly 140 km southwest, near Klatovy.

By car: The Castle and Fort Jindřichovice is about 15 km from Klatovy in the Plzeň region. A car is the most practical way in (and note: this is the Klatovy-area Jindřichovice, not the same-named towns elsewhere in Czechia).

By transit: Rail and bus connections serve Klatovy from the Plzeň/Prague direction; arrange the final stretch to the castle via the convention's Telegram.

Where Should I Stay for Furrstein?

Furrstein has always taken over the Castle and Fort Jindřichovice, with accommodation inside the historic buildings as part of the convention. There's no separate hotel block, staying on-site at the castle is the experience: the ticket bundles the room, and the only choice is whether you sleep in the fort or the castle. For 2026 Furrstein also opened a camping option, "Tent Town," alongside the two buildings. Room arrangements were handled through registration, which closed full ahead of its deadline.
