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.

Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m

Nandolino Dragon Sculpture at the Pfaffenteich

Highlight • Monument

A full seven meters long, with sharp teeth and large eyes, it rises on the southern shore of the Pfaffenteich: a wooden dragon carved by Nando Kallweit. Respect or even fear of this statue – oh well! The name "Nandolino" alone suggests that this work of art is a real magnet for families – especially the younger members.

Nandolino doesn't just stand there, no: He has a purpose. He is a lucky dragon. In 2011, the two-meter-high statue took its place on the southern shore of the Pfaffenteich and was there just in time for the then 20th Dragon Boat Festival. Since then, he has been considered the good spirit of the dragon boat athletes and watches over the races.
