Schloss vor Husum

The Schloss vor Husum is a palace outside of Husum, Nordfriesland district, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, when it was erected in the 16th century. It was initially a secondary residence of the ducal house of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf and served as an occasional residence for the Danish royal family during the 18th and 19th centuries. It also accommodated administrative offices, which gradually expanded and after 1864 occupied most of the building. The offices remained until the 20th century, and the castle came to be known as the "royal palace".
