Plön Castle

Plön Castle is one of the largest castles in Schleswig-Holstein and the only surviving one located on a hill. The former Residence of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Plön was built in the 17th century during the Thirty Years War and has had a colorful history in which it has, for example, acted as a school for cadets and a boarding school. The castle ended up in the possession of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, but they could not fund its renovation and so it had to be sold again. Since January 2002 it has belonged to the Fielmann Akademie Schloss Plön and, after extensive conversion, serves as a training and qualification center for a branch of optometry. After being inaccessible to the general public for many years when it was a boarding school, its new owners have opened it to a limited extent to visitors. Tours must be pre-booked; phone 04522 - 8010 for more information.
