Glucksburg

Tucked along the southern shore of Flensburg Fjord, Glücksburg is a town whose character is shaped by sheltered Baltic waters and its position close to Denmark. The town’s defining monument is Glücksburg Castle, a white Renaissance residence built from 1582 to 1587 for Duke John the Younger. Set on an island in a castle lake, it later gave its name to the House of Glücksburg, a dynasty connected with several European royal families. The waterfront at Sandwig and the wooded shoreline keep the fjord central to local life. Trace Glücksburg’s place around Flensburg Fjord by browsing webcams across Schleswig-Holstein.
