Gottorf Castle in Schleswig was built by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger between 1697 and 1703. The article names no client. The page has no infobox, so no dates conflict. The site was first settled in 1161 as the residence of Bishop Occo of Schleswig.

The article says the building changed from a medieval castle to a Renaissance fortress to a Baroque palace. It names no materials or dimensions. The estate was a European cultural center from 1616 to 1659 under Frederick III, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp.

The Gottorp line left in 1702, and the castle fell into disuse by 1713 and served as barracks in the 19th century. Renovation began in 1947 and was considered complete in 1996. A state foundation owns it, and it houses two state museums. The article gives no hours.
