The castle is situated directly on a bay of the Augustenborg Fjord, an arm of the Baltic Sea. The views of the bay and the landscape behind it appear to be a continuation of the garden itself in the distance. The grounds include a baroque-style garden, which was transformed into a landscaped park in the 19th century. The garden has large grass terraces and a topiary hedge.

The garden located in front of the palace building is framed by trees and sculpted hills, accessible by paths. Under one of the lime trees in the castle grounds is a plaque commemorating the poet Andersen, who is said to have worked here for many of his stories. Within the park, there are two summer houses and outbuildings, which after the departure of the ducal family in 1848, were transformed for public use. The Prince's House is small in size, relatively spartan in appearance. It was built in 1765 for Emilio Augustus, the younger brother of Duke Frederick Christian I. The red house served as a hermitage for Emilio Augustus, who lived there until his death in 1786. The small estate was bequeathed to his sister, Christina Luisa Carolina), for use during his lifetime.[10][11] The palace church, which now serves as the parish church of Augustenborg, is open to the public in the summer months. Tours of the ducal apartments can be arranged in advance.[12]​.

The largest room in the castle is the space dedicated to the church, which dates back to the end of the 19th century. Not visible from the outside, it entirely covers the two floors of the annex to the north wing and is the successor to an older chapel, from 1671, which was demolished before the construction of the castle. This hall, which has served as the town's parish church since 1874, was extensively restored in 1972.[9]​.

The rococo architecture of the church hall matches that of the rest of the building. The stucco work was probably designed by Michelangelo Taddei. This ecclesial hall has seven separate window openings. Six Doric columns and six Corinthian columns separate the space, forming a hall with three naves. A curved balustrade leads to the altar pulpit on the east wall. The organ is located on the top of the altar and is due to the Holstein organ builder, Johann Daniel Busch"). The Carrara marble baptismal font was a gift from the Russian Tsar Alexander I.[9]​.
