Tips from the Community
Noore – from the Danish word “Nor” – are bodies of water that are almost completely separated from the sea, except for a small access point. Accordingly, the coastal lakes feature a special mix of fresh and saltwater – a unique habitat for waterfowl. The most beautiful Noore around the Schlei are the Haddebyer Noor and the Selker Noor.

From the bridge over the outflow from Haddebyer Noor to the Schlei, the view of Schleswig opposite is particularly good and unobstructed. Unfortunately, it's on the B76. So watch out for traffic.

St. Petri to Schleswig The St. Petri Cathedral in Schleswig is one of the most important buildings in North German church history. With its impressive architecture and its art-historically valuable furnishings, it is an important tourist destination in the Schleswig region – and beyond. Center for Community and Life The cathedral is a widely visible symbol of church life in Schleswig - the religious center of a large community and a venue for a rich cultural and church music life. At the same time, it is the only large church owned by the regional church and the bishop's church for the dioceses of Schleswig and Holstein. The Schleswig Cathedral thus has a nationwide appeal.

The castle houses Schleswig-Holstein's most important museums and is involved in a wide range of cultural events. In addition to changing exhibitions (including those by contemporary artists), theater performances in the courtyard and concerts are held at irregular intervals. The entire grounds and many of the interior rooms are open to visitors. Some of the castle's original furnishings have been preserved and can be viewed as part of the museum tours. Of particular note are the festive Hirschsaal (Stag Hall) from 1591 and the two-story Renaissance chapel. The castle is considered the most important secular building in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

At the beginning of 1945, more and more refugees from the eastern territories of the German Reich arrived in Schleswig, their number rising to almost 18,000 by the summer. Gottorf, like many of the country's residences, was used as a temporary reception camp, and several hundred refugees were housed in the castle.[31] In the post-war period, the entire complex was made available to the Schleswig-Holstein State Museums from 1948 onwards.
