From 1840, Plön Castle was the official summer residence of the Danish King Christian VIII. For this purpose, the castle was renovated and the furnishings were partly renewed in the style of classicism. At this time, it also received the white plaster that is reminiscent of Danish castles such as Gravenstein and Fredensborg.[9]

Most recently owned by the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Plön Castle was sold due to necessary renovations that the state could not finance. Since January 2002, it has belonged to the "Fielmann Akademie Schloss Plön" and, after extensive renovations, serves the optometry and audiology industry as a training and qualification center. After the castle had not been open to the public for many years due to its use as a boarding school, the new owner opened it to visitors to a limited extent.

Plön Castle is one of the largest castles in Schleswig-Holstein and the only one preserved there at an elevated location. It is located in the town of Plön in the district of the same name. The former residence of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön was built in the 17th century during the Thirty Years' War. It has experienced a varied history, in which the castle also served as a cadet school and boarding school.
