Close to it is the old palace of Gottorp, formerly the ducal residence, but at present inhabited by the stadtholder or governor. This town was once much more considerable than it is at present, having suffered greatly by the wars of Germany. It is seated on the gulf of Sley, where there is a good harbour, 60 miles north-west of Lubeck, and 125 south-west of Copenhagen.

Formerly the king of Denmark had half of it, and the other belonged to the house of Holstein-Gottorp; but the former having conquered this duchy, had the possession of it confirmed to him by the treaty of the north in 1720. In 1731, a prince of Bareith-Culmbach was made governor of this duchy, who resides at Gottorp.
