      The moated castle is an absolute highlight.

        A true gem and landmark of the Baltic Sea spa town of Glücksburg is the imposing Renaissance moated castle. It is one of the most important moated castles in Northern Europe. It was built between 1582 and 1587 under Duke John the Younger of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg on the site of the former Rude Monastery. Consisting of three formally identical individual buildings and flanked by four corner towers, Glücksburg Castle rises on an almost square floor plan. Unlike most moated castles, Glücksburg Castle is not built on stilts, but rather on a 2.5 m high granite base.
