Gottorf Castle
Highlight • Castle
Gottorf Castle, this magnificent white building at the entrance to Schleswig from the 15th century, was once the residence of the Gottorf dukes. They made Schleswig the cultural center of Northern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Schleswig Museum Island offers an exciting excursion into the history of Schleswig-Holstein, overwhelming archaeological treasures and works of art. One of the highlights is the castle itself, which now houses the Museum of Archeology and the Museum of Art and Cultural History.

St. Peter's Cathedral (Schleswig Cathedral)
Highlight • Religious Site
From the corner of your eye, you can see many sights from the Romanesque and Gothic construction periods. Isolated influences from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are also recognizable.
The Adoration of the Magi altar, with its life-sized, fully sculpted figures from the year 1300, is among the oldest sacred furnishings and earliest examples of its kind north of the Alps.
Historians suspect that St. Petri Cathedral was built around 1105, possibly on the foundations of a predecessor building.
In 1300, an extensive redevelopment of St. Petri Cathedral began, lasting for 100 years. During this construction phase, the so-called "Schwahl" was also created, which today hosts the Schwahlmarkt, a Christmas market, well-known far beyond the city limits of Schleswig.
