Schleswiger Dom or Schleswig Cathedral
evaanna Says: The Cathedral of St Peter in Schleswig rises high above the town and its vicinity. Its 112-metre spire was added to the building in the years 1894-1984 but the church itself is much older and dates back to the 12th century, although it has undergone many alterations since....
ranger49 Says: The first and last thing you see when arriving in, or leaving Schleswig is its high tower . The tower is not very old and dates from the 19th Century. The real treasures of St. Peter's Cathedral are to be found inside.To find so many mediaeval artistic treasures in this...
Obak81 Says: Schleswig is a old city originally founded by Vikings. During the first millenium of the citys history it has more or less been equally influenced by Danish culture and German culture. This mix in influence can be seen in the hanseatic influence on the building style in the...
Obak81 Says: The schloss Gottrof, once a royal castle and center of the Schleswig-Holstein region. Today the castle serves as a museum, and a courious reminder of the diversity of independent germans political entities in the 17'th century.
bonio Says: A small market taking place when we arrived, several bars and restaurants around too, imagine this is a good place to spend a summer evening, maybe notso a snowy March morning?
bonio Says: Our B & B was just a short walk to the harbour and even on a cold March afternoon there was some activity. Interesting to see the fishing boats. I imagine it's a great place to visit on a warmer day.
bonio Says: Once a community of fishermen, Holm is centred around a cemetry. Good to walk around the village until the snow comes! good cafe here though.
bonio Says: Visible from just about everywhere in town, the cathedral should not be missed.
Gentleman75 Says: A decisive turning point in the history of Schleswig was when it became the seat of the royal court in the middle of the 16th century. Schloss Gottorf was transformed from a modest moated castle into a magnificent palace, and became an intellectual and cultural centreToday...

bonio Says: A Hausbraueri a few minutes walk from home for us, too hard to resist. Very busy but fast service, food and beer excellent. Asgaard beer was one of the best sampled on our week in Schleswig - Holstein.Mrs Bonio enjoyed the vegetarian options too, a return visit on the cards...
bonio Says: In Holm, a good cafe and for us a place to hide from a snow shower. Have a good menu but I was attracted to the great cakes on offer, there's a surprise, very tasty.
bonio Says: We arrived by train from Flensburg, just a short ride. Easy to reach Schleswig from Hamburg and Kiel too. The Bahnhof is some distance from the town centre, it's probably wise to catch a bus, we felt energetic - the walk took around half an hour, luckily the weather stayed...
