View of Lake Plön

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very nice view over the lake. In certain weather conditions it can be very windy here. But still a great place to enjoy the view on a walk or a round trip by bike.

Plön Castle is a landmark, a tourist attraction, and the home of the Fielmann Academy in Plön.

This landmark of Plön, visible from afar from all approaches by land and water, was built during the Thirty Years' War between 1633 and 1636. Duke Joachim Ernst of Plön had a brick castle erected on the site of the old, now-useless, fortress. The castle received its white paint in the 18th century under the Danish King Christian VIII.

Around the turn of the 20th century, Plön Castle served as the educational home for the sons of Kaiser Wilhelm II and as a cadet academy for the officer corps of the Prussian army. During the Nazi era, it served as a National Political Institute of Education (NAPOLA).

After the sale of Plön Castle by the state government to the non-profit Fielmann Academy in January 2002, the castle underwent extensive renovation and, following careful reconstruction in cooperation with the historic preservation authorities and with the involvement of local craftspeople, reopened three years later. Since 2005, the Fielmann Academy, a public training center for German optometry, has been training more than 6,000 opticians annually at Plön Castle.

Regular guided tours offer the opportunity to visit the reconstructed chapel, the Knights' Hall, and the ducal apartments. The Knights' Hall is used for the "Castle Concerts" classical concert series.

View of Plön Castle from the Great Plöner Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

200 lakes close together, with Schleswig-Holstein's largest lake at its center: that's Holstein Switzerland. It's not without reason that this "lake paradise" is one of the most popular vacation regions for water sports enthusiasts, nature lovers, families, and those looking to slow down from the stresses of big city life. The Great Plön Lake, with its deep blue waters and pristine shoreline, entices visitors to spend relaxing holidays on, in, and around the lake. Whether paddling, sailing, fishing, swimming, diving, or golfing near the lake – the options are endless. Furthermore, the 30 square kilometer expanse of water with a depth of 58 meters invites you to enjoy relaxing lake views. And all around the lake, picturesque towns like Plön, Bosau, and Dersau boast a wealth of culture, history, and nature. It's no wonder this lake has been awarded the seal of "Schleswig-Holstein's Favorite Lake" several times in a row.

Unfortunately, the view is blocked in summer because the trees are obscuring.
Sometimes autumn or winter is more beautiful than spring or summer.
