Stud Farm Attendant Houses Raben Steinfeld

Highlight • Historical Site

These houses from 1863 (I hope I have noticed correctly) were provided only with different clinker bricks. But that's what makes them look very pretty. Although the construction of the houses also contributed its part.
Was that a common architectural style at that time?
Addendum: It is in Raben Steinfeld a row of houses in English country house style from the 19th century, a grand ducal summer residence in the style of the neo-Renaissance. (Source: Tourismusverein Schweriner Seenland e.V.)

Equestrian Statue of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II (Schwerin Palace Garden)

Highlight • Monument

After the death of the popular Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II - the builder of the castle in Schwerin - his son commissioned the construction of a monumental statue. The object was financed through donations. It is considered the only historical equestrian statue in all of Mecklenburg.

The work of the Mecklenburg sculptor Ludwig Brunow was ceremoniously unveiled in 1893 - in the presence of high-ranking state guests such as Emperor Wilhelm II and Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, as well as everyone who was of rank and name in the Mecklenburg court nobility. Inspired by the equestrian statues of Roman emperors and the Prussian Elector in Berlin, it was designed according to the typical, mostly military-influenced taste of the late 19th century. The figures of the Grand Duke and his horse stand on a marble base more than 4 m high.

The base is surrounded by allegories of the 4 ruler virtues: strength, justice, wisdom and faith. Two commemorative plaques show events from the reign of Friedrich Franz II - the construction of the new university building in Rostock and the Grand Duke's arrival in Schwerin in 1871.

The monument survived two wars and two dictatorships with great luck. It escaped being melted down for war purposes, the iconoclasm after the end of the war and being scrapped.

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

Old Town of Schwerin

Highlight • Settlement

Schwerin is divided into several districts. The so-called Old Town (Altstadt) is located around Schwerin Cathedral and is the historic core. Settlement dates back a long way, and ancient traces can still be seen today. Schwerin Cathedral and the area around the market square are worth seeing.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altstadt_(Schwerin)

Schwerin Castle is an absolute highlight with a long history. In 1160, the Wendish prince Niklot burned the Slavic fortress and withdrew. Henry the Lion rebuilt it, laying the foundation for the present-day city of Schwerin.

The castle now houses the state parliament and a museum.
