My recent visit to Glücksberg Castle in North Germany was nothing short of delightful. I embarked on a picturesque journey, taking a ferry from Flensburg port to reach this historical gem, and the 45-minute ride offered breathtaking views of the surrounding waters. Glücksberg Castle itself is a charming piece of history, nestled in a serene setting. The castle's architecture is captivating, and the well-maintained grounds make for a pleasant stroll. While I didn't have the opportunity to explore the castle's interior during my visit, the exterior alone is worth the trip. The tranquility of the location and the proximity to the water create a serene atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxing day trip. I would highly recommend Glucksberg Castle to anyone seeking a tranquil escape with a touch of history.

Me and my 6 month old went to this castle a couplw of days ago on a day out, thinking we would be gone from our residence for near enough the whole day, we took food and nappies etc with us. Unfortunately there wasn't really anything to do and the castle wasn't even open at 11am (eventhough the openingtimes said 10am to 4pm). It is a really beautiful castle from the outside, the castle grounds are beautifully kept and are very scenic. Unfortunately the rose garden is a mess, no signs of roses or anything else. If we had been able to go inside (to the opening times) then I would probably give 4 stars, but as we couldn't, we got bored after 2 hours and spent the rest of the day somewhere else.

This quaint castle off is a well preserved piece of history. Great care has been taken to preserve it's interiors and offer visitor chances for glimpse into the lives of the castle formal inhabitants. The first stop would be a really nice chapel which commonly hosts weddings. There is an exhibit at the top of the castle that offers a glimpse into the lives of the servants. Not to be missed is a dungeon at the basement of the castle. The local guides are really friendly and conversant in English. They are more than glad to tell you more about the history behind the castle. Definitely worth a visit.

Worth visiting. This castle surprised me because it's not empty at all as I expected, the northern part of Germany was not known for its big, beautiful castles. But somehow, this castle accidently appeared on the map, lol. That was unexpected. There's a lovely park and the exhibitions inside the castle. The castle is pretty big with lots of rooms, with attic and ofc dungeon. You can have an audio guide as well. You have to download the app on your phone and enjoy the story. QR-code you'll find in the castle at the door.

Glücksburg is such a cozy and idyllic village and Lyksburg Castle is the main attraction. It's such a peaceful place with great walks around the park and castle, or you can enjoy a treat or a cup of coffee at the cozy coffee right next to the water. Be aware that parking costs 2 euro which can only be paid with coins (yes, even payment is from the Middle Ages), and the last tour of the castle is at 15. Definitely worth a visit if you're around Flensburg.

Der Besuch im Schloss Glücksburg war einfach zauberhaft! Das Schloss an sich ist atemberaubend schön und hat eine faszinierende Geschichte, die man bei der Führung durch die prachtvollen Räume erfahren konnte. Der Rundgang durch das Schloss war sehr informativ und unterhaltsam. Die Guides waren sehr kompetent und konnten uns mit spannenden Geschichten und interessanten Fakten begeistern. Es war beeindruckend, die kunstvollen Gemälde, edlen Möbel und kostbaren Porzellanstücke zu bestaunen. Besonders beeindruckend war auch der Schlossgarten. Bei einem Spaziergang konnte man die Ruhe und Schönheit der Natur genießen und den Blick auf die glitzernde Ostsee schweifen lassen. Es gab auch verschiedene Themengärten, die liebevoll gestaltet waren und eine angenehme Atmosphäre boten. Ein weiteres Highlight war die Möglichkeit, das Café im Schloss zu besuchen und dort in historischer Umgebung köstlichen Kuchen und Kaffee zu genießen. Der Service war freundlich und zuvorkommend, und die Auswahl an Gebäck war einfach unwiderstehlich. Alles in allem war mein Besuch im Schloss Glücksburg ein echtes Highlight. Die Kombination aus beeindruckender Architektur, kunstvollen Innenräumen, idyllischem Garten und erstklassigem Service hat mich einfach begeistert. Ich kann einen Besuch im Schloss Glücksburg nur wärmstens empfehlen und werde definitiv wiederkommen!
