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".

Adebors Näs Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A wide, barrier-free wooden plank path leads over a moor to the "Adebors Näs" viewpoint. From here you can see Schwerin Castle, the Art Museum, Schwerin Cathedral and of course Lake Schwerin.

Attention, when it is wet it can be very slippery on the wooden plank path.

Schwerin Grinding Mill Museum

Highlight • Monument

"Built in 1704, the mill on the Faulen See had many gentlemen and changing functions, but the most influential is the centuries-old history as a ducal stone grinding mill." Duke Christian Ludwig II built the grinding mill in 1755. Until the middle of the 19th century, it was primarily decorative Stone slabs, sarcophagi, memorial plinths and chimney cowls were cut from granite figurines weighing tons, but also precious stones and local minerals were processed, mostly by hand, into jewelery and jewelery.

Schwerin Palace Gardens

Highlight • Natural Monument

The former pleasure garden of Schwerin Castle is still a worthwhile place to visit today and has lots of eye-catchers.

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
Tuesday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m
closed on Monday

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.

June 21, 2025,2025-🥾-043-MV: 1 Tag in Schwerin mit viel Schloss + Element of Crime ➡️

A fairly sunny day in Schwerin with Lake Schwerin, Fauler Lake, Mariella's Pizzeria, ice cream at Cookies + Brownie, a whole bunch of the castle, the castle gardens, and everything else. Of all the museums we could find, we chose the small, unspectacular but beautiful grinding mill. A museum-like display facility; we were lucky to arrive right in time for …

October 4, 2025,The next crazy thing

The motto will be "as quickly as possible."
I'm already getting the idea that if I'm going to take a break, I'm going to do it properly. That means a sleeping bag/hammock, something like that, and really 1-2 hours of shut-eye...
Any other kind of break will wear you down in the long run. Either you push through, or you …

...we've always wanted to go there...🤔 - this morning, with a longer walk. Chic, chic, is all I can say. Lots of nature. The weather was still halfway decent. Unfortunately, the sun wasn't always there (photos...). Gardens and more. After that, a bit of the old town; also nice. A coffee, and then a quick trip to the car. It …
