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

October 14th to April 13th

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.

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 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.
