Augustenborg Palace
Augustenborg Slot
The white Rococo palace of the Augustenborg ducal family, with a large lawn in front and English-style gardens along the fjord; a quiet, elegant town.
Augustenborg Palace was built in the mid-18th century as the residence of the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderborg-Augustenborg ducal family. Three Rococo wings enclose a large square in front of it. The palace was later used as a hospital for a long time, so most of the main building is not open to the public. However, the palace gardens and the English-style park along the Augustenborg Fjord are free to visit, with sculptures and tree-lined paths. The palace chapel and art spaces are occasionally open. It is about 8 km from Sønderborg and suits a detour by bike or car.
Opening hours
Grounds open all day; palace interior generally closed to visitors
