Schloss Plön is the last large castle construction in Schleswig-Holstein and the state's first three-winged complex. Situated high above the Plöner See, the castle, built between 1630 and 1636, still shapes the town's silhouette today. Three predecessor structures can be proven on the Schlossberg, the oldest dating back to before 1139. From 1156 to 1390, the medieval castle was owned by the Counts of Schauenburg. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle finally came into the possession of Johann II of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. His son Joachim Ernst had it demolished and built the castle, which is still largely preserved in its external structure today, between 1630 and 1636. Herrenhaeuser.sh

A rowboat, moored all day, rocked almost imperceptibly. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the Dieksee became the perfect place to let the day end in peaceful serenity.

The large Plön Lake is divided into two basins: the eastern Plön Basin and the western Ascheberg Basin. The small Plön Lake borders it to the north. The shores of the large Plön Lake are wooded, and several bird species can be found on the many islands. A visit to the Princes' Island is highly recommended!
