Created for 'Illustrated London News' in 1864, during the Second Schleswig War between Germany and Denmark, this black-and-white print captures the grandeur of the three-winged chateau that once belonged to Duke Frederick Christian II of Augustenburg.
The war was sparked by Prince Wilhelm's claim to be Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, a controversy that led to tensions between German and Danish forces. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the conflict's impact on this picturesque island, where the palace stood strong amidst the turmoil.
