Ahrensburg Castle, Renaissance castle in Ahrensburg, Germany.

The rectangular white castle stands on an artificial island surrounded by a moat, featuring ornate corner turrets and brick construction details.

Built after 1585 under Peter Rantzau's direction, the castle replaced a 13th-century fortified mansion known as Burg Arnesvelde with defensive towers.

The castle museum exhibits historical artifacts and art collections while maintaining period furnishings, including the blue salon and pellicia-cabinet from different eras.

The castle opens Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours and hosting regular cultural events throughout the year.

Heinrich Carl von Schimmelmann transformed the interior into a late-Baroque residence in 1759, adding significant architectural modifications that remain visible today.
