Louisenlund later became part of the property owned by the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, who remodeled the castle to its present state. An English traveler, Horace Marryat, wrote in 1860, "Louisenlund is a charming residence in summer time, with its dark beech woods, in spring a carpet of lilies, herb-paris, hepaticas; and the bright blue waters of its deep fiordes, waters which could reveal sad tales".[3]
Advised by Kurt Hahn, in 1949 Wilhelm Friedrich, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein decided to build a boarding school on the grounds and established the Louisenlund Foundation. A foundation set up to administer the Stiftung Louisenlund, a member of the Round Square Conference of Schools.[4][5] The present chairwoman is Wilhelm Friedrich's granddaughter, Ingeborg, Princess of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (born 1956).
