In the Friedrichsberg district of Schleswig, situated on an island at the tip of the Schlei (which is now cut off from the rest of the inlet), stands Schloss Gottorf (originally 13th C.; in its present form 16th-18th C.), the largest princely palace in Schleswig-Holstein. From the mid 19th C. it was used as a barracks; it now contains two museums.
