Pheasant Island, Cultural heritage island in Eutin, Germany.

The island extends 150 meters in width and 200 meters in length within the southern section of Großer Eutiner See lake in Schleswig-Holstein.

A Wendish fortress named Utin stood on this island during the 9th century until the Holsteiners destroyed it in their conquest of Wagria in 1138.

The island forms an integral part of the visual composition from the former Baroque garden of Eutin Castle across the lake waters.

The island maintains private ownership status with current inhabitants, restricting general public access to its grounds and structures.

The name originates from a former pheasantry that operated on the island, marking its legacy in local agricultural practices.
