Gottorf Castle (Low German: Slott Gottorp, Danish: Gottorp Slot) in Schleswig is one of the most important secular buildings in Schleswig-Holstein.[1] In its more than eight hundred year history, it has been rebuilt and expanded several times, transforming from a medieval castle to a Renaissance fortress and finally to a Baroque palace. It gave its name to the ducal House of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, from which four Swedish kings and several Russian tsars emerged in the 18th century.
