Schackenborg Castle

Schackenborg Castle is the private residence of Prince Joachim of Denmark, the 2nd son of the present Danish monarch located in Møgeltønder, Southern Jutland.
Originally called Møgeltønderhus the former stronghold on the site was the property of the Roman Catholic bishops of Ribe. It served as protection against the Frisians in the south, and guarded the waterway that joined Vidå to Tønder. During the Reformation in Denmark the mansion was confiscated from the Church by the Danish crown. Count Hans von Schack, a Schleswig nobleman and soldier was given Møgeltønderhus as a token of King Frederick III of Denmark's gratitude for his military achievements in the Northern Wars. Von Schack demolished most of the mansion in 1661 due to its bad condition, building the more impressive, baroque style Schackenborg Castle. In 1680 a street was laid out from the manor house, leading toward the local church. For eleven generations the Castle belonged to the von Schack family before reverting to the Danish Royal Family again in 1978.
