Château
Glücksburg Castle is one of the most significant Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. The castle was the headquarters of the ducal lines of the house of Glücksburg and temporarily served as the primary residence of the Danish monarch. The building is in the town of Glücksburg, located in Northern Germany on the Flensburg Firth. The structure is a water castle. The ducal house of Glücksburg derived its name from the castle and its family members are related to almost all European dynasties. Nowadays, the castle is one of the most famous sights in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Within the castle is a museum which is open to the public.
