#tripaway Surrounded by Lake Schwerin and in front of Schwerin town center, Schwerin Castle enchants with its unique combination of architecture and landscape.
The former residential building in Schwerin is one of the most important historic buildings in Germany.
With the inclusion of Renaissance buildings from the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century with terracotta ornaments and ornamental facades, the present appearance of the palace was created between 1843 and 1857.
The palace was redesigned according to the plans of builders Georg Adolph Demmler and Friedrich August Stüler in the neo-renaissance style. The castles of the French Renaissance, especially the Chambord in the Loire, exerted a strong influence on the model.
It is especially worth seeing in the castle museum the magnificent ducal display rooms on the festival floor, such as the Throne Room and the ancestral gallery, as well as the living and social rooms at the bottom of the room, such as dining, tea, flower rooms and New Year gallery
Precious porcelain from Meissen, Berlin and other European manufacturers, as well as courtyard and Mecklenburg paintings from the 18th and 20th centuries can be seen in the rooms of former children. The castle garden and the orange are also worth a visit.
In addition to its function as a cultural meeting place, the castle is also the seat of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian state parliament.
The annual SCHWERIN SCHLOSSFESTSPIELE is also very popular and well attended.
You can discover Schwerin Castle on a city tour in the most important sights of Schwerin.
