CASTLES

A splash of royalty around the Flensburg Firth

The history of the German-Danish region has been shaped by the kings and dukes who lived there. Most of the imposing buildings have since become museums, but the Glücksburg water castle and Gråsten Palace (Gråsten Slot) are still used by royalty today.
