A jewel would not be an exaggeration

Beautiful castle in Schwerin


To describe Schwerin castle, which architecturally speaking is also Germany's most attractive seats of regional government, as a jewel would not be an exaggeration. Fairytale-like, it is perched on top of a small island on Lake Schwerin. The golden dome shining in the sun can be seen from afar. The adjacent park is a beautiful sight and was part of the Schwerin National Garden Show. Once upon a time, Schwerin castle was also the seat of the Mecklenburg dukes. Today, it is partly a museum. Don't miss out on the magnificent throne room and the festively decorated ancestral portrait gallery on your visit to Schwerin.
