Gottorf Castle 🇩🇪

#summerdestinations This summer, I visited Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, Germany, and it was an unforgettable experience! 🏰🌿 Located in the beautiful region of Schleswig-Holstein, this historic castle is a treasure trove of art, history, and stunning architecture. The entrance fee is about €9 for adults, which includes access to both the castle and the Baroque gardens. Wandering through the castle, I was fascinated by the rich history of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. The museum houses an impressive collection of artifacts, paintings, and archaeological finds. The highlight for me was the breathtaking Globe House, featuring a giant globe from the 17th century that you can actually walk into! The Baroque gardens were equally enchanting, with beautifully manicured lawns, intricate flowerbeds, and serene water features. Nearby attractions include the charming old town of Schleswig, with its picturesque streets and historic cathedral, and the Viking Museum Haithabu, which offers a fascinating look into the region's ancient past. Gottorf Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone looking to explore the cultural heritage of northern Germany. #gottorfcastle #schleswigholstein #history #summeringermany
