Earliest Recorded Date of Construction: 01/01/1150 Additional Dates of Construction: 1678 Architectural Period/Style: Baroque Architect (if known): Eugen Fink Type of Building e.g. Country House, Stately Home, Manor: Castle Interesting Historical Facts or Connections: Nordborg was for a large part of the middle ages the property of the king, and was on several occasions a source of income for the king's widow. In 1571 King Frederick II’s brother Hans the Younger inherited his mother Queen Dorothea's possessions of Als and Sundeved including Nordborg. Hans was an enterprising man, who in the next 50 years constantly expanded and improved his properties. There was a series of building projects in and around Nordborg Slot. Upon Hans the Younger's death in 1622 his possessions were divided into separate dukedoms, including Nordborg, which went to his son Hans Adolf. Hans Adolf died only two years later and so the dukedom then went to Hans the Younger's other son Frederik.
