Equestrian Monument of Friedrich Franz II

Highlight • Monument

The equestrian monument to Friedrich Franz II in Schwerin is the only historic equestrian monument in Mecklenburg and the main work of the sculptor Ludwig Brunow. Financed primarily by donations, it was created by the artist in the years 1887-1892 and inaugurated 10 years after the death of the Grand Duke honored here in 1893 with the participation of the European nobility and with military honours. In grateful recognition of his work, the artist was awarded the "Knight's Cross of the House Order of the Wendish Crown" and the title of "Grand Ducal Professor".

Schwerin Castle Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

The approximately 25-hectare Schwerin palace garden is one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in northern Germany. The Schwerin Palace Garden was originally laid out as a pleasure garden based on the French model.

From 1748 it was given its present form. This includes the cross channel, which was created as the centerpiece according to designs by the garden architect Jean Legeay. In the middle of the 19th century, the park was then expanded to include greenhouse gardens, kitchen gardens and the riparian zones based on the English model.

Schwerin Castle

Highlight • Castle

This magnificent jewel is located directly on Lake Schwerin. Schwerin Castle is certainly one of the most beautiful in Germany. I couldn't decide which side is the prettiest. Whether at sunset from the lake side or with the beautifully landscaped castle park in the foreground. After the walk, you can also visit the fairytale castle from the inside as part of a guided tour.

Opening times castle museum:
April 14th to October 13th
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

October 14th to April 13th

Victory Column

Highlight • Monument

The Victory Column was built in 1874 and is located in the immediate vicinity of Schwerin Castle. It is to commemorate the fallen Mecklenburg soldiers in the Franco-German War of 1870/1871.
Gustav Willgohs created the victory column from captured French artillery. The bronze guns were melted down and poured into a mold to form the victory column.

Old Garden, Schwerin

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Garden is a central, representative square in Schwerin, which is surrounded by magnificent buildings. It is bordered on two sides by Lake Schwerin and the Burgsee.

Both the layout of the square itself and the buildings located there and adjacent to it - Schwerin Castle, Theater, Museum, Old Palace and State Chancellery - are listed in the city of Schwerin's list of monuments.

The history of the square's use probably begins as early as the 9th century in the vicinity of the Obodrite Castle Zuarin. Over time, the use of the square changed several times until it became modern for meetings and events and as a tourist center.

Schwerin Cathedral of St. Mary and St. John

Highlight • Religious Site

The Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Johannis in Schwerin is the only medieval building in the state capital. It is also the only real cathedral in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

The 117.5 meter high west tower, which was built in the neo-Gothic style, is also the tallest church tower in East Germany. The church tower can be climbed with its 220 steps. Here the visitor has a breathtaking view over Schwerin and the Schwerin lake landscape.
