A Castle in a Pond

Have you ever wished for a big castle? Duke Hans the Younger felt the same way over 400 years ago. And he paid a lot of money to make his wish come true. Today, his castle towers over the waters in the middle of a pond. The stones of an old monastery that used to stand here, were "recycled" as building material. Since then, many dukes and even a king have lived in Glücksburg Castle. You can discover a lot during a visit. For example, the small fossilised fish and shells in the stone floor of the entrance hall. And the many children's faces, painted on the ceiling in the Red Hall. If you get the audio guide for the children's tour, Princess Luise Caroline Elisabeth Feodora and the Drake will explain what they are all about. And they even reveal many other stories from the White Castle in a pond...
