History of the castle

The prehistory of today's castle grounds began in Schleswig in 1192 when the St. Michael double monastery on the mountain was dissolved. The nuns then referred to the St. Johannis monastery in Schleswig, which still exists today, while the monks left the town and went to Guldholm am Langsee.

Between 1209 and 1210 they founded a new Cistercian monastery in what is now Glücksburg. In the vicinity of the monastery there was probably an older tower hill castle, which is still preserved as a swan island. The so-called Rüdekloster and the extensive estates were inhabited and managed by the monks in the following centuries. At that time there were still several castle complexes in neighboring Flensburg and from 1411 the large militarily significant Duburg.

In the course of the Reformation, the Rüdekloster was secularized in 1538 and came into the possession of the Danish king Christian III in 1544. The monastery buildings served as the residence of the decomposer. The Duburg in Flensburg was also in decline at the beginning of the 16th century.
