Stranded on an island in the Burgsee lake, the big sight in Schwerin is the splendid residence for the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The island had a castle as early as the 10th century, and from the 16th century this took on the form of a Renaissance palace. Some 300 years later Duke Frederick Francis II ordered a drastic overhaul and in the 1840...
You can’t pass up the opportunity to look inside the palace, which has 635 rooms, many of which have been set aside for visitors. This is all managed by the Staatliches Museum Schwerin, which also has the Ducal art collection at a separate location. In exquisitely furnished ballrooms and private apartments you’ll be left in no doubt about the wealt...
One of the high points of the North German Brick Gothic style, Schwerin Cathedral is as old as the city. It was founded by the fabled Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, Henry the Lion in 1160. The modest church at that time became a famous pilgrimage site in the 13th century when a count returned from the crusades with the “relic of the Holy Blood”, a dro...
Belonging to the Staatliches Museum Schwerin, this art museum is in a regal Neoclassical palace on the Burgsee. Here you can revel in a sensational collection of Dutch and Flemish Old Masters. We’re talking, Rubens, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, Brueghel the Elder, Peter Claesz, Paulus Potter and more. Moving forward, there’s also a strong array of works ...
On the Schlossinsel, and continuing south across the water with perfect symmetry is one of North Germany’s finest Baroque gardens. The gardens have free entry for the public and are immaculately tended, with a long cross-shaped canal, sculptures, terraces, fountains, tree-flanked alleys, a grotto, a pergola, a hippodrome and a “floating meadow” by ...
Schwerin’s answer to the Binnenalster in Hamburg, the Pfaffenteich is a 12-hectare pond that was first dammed in the 1100s to power watermills on its south shore. The banks have a band of grass and tree-lined promenades in front of tall 19th-century apartment buildings. The south shore, closest to Schwerin’s old town, is a hangout in summer when re...
In 1936 when the fishing village Mueß was absorbed by Schwerin, the historic centre of the village was left untouched and converted into an outdoor museum. Most of these 17 buildings are the same now as they were when they were built as much as 400 years ago. And because many of the structures were village amenities they give us a clear glimpse of ...
Moments south of the cathedral, Schwerin’s historic marketplace was built in one go following Schwerin’s great fire of 1651. There are four listed buildings around the square, along with newer, post-war houses that have been given Baroque and Renaissance designs. One monument that will catch your eye is the market hall Neues Gebäude (New Building) ...
There’s an homage to the city’s founder, Henry the Lion on the market square beside the Neues Gebäude. This is only from 1995 and was placed here in 1995 on the 800th anniversary of the founders’ death. The funding came from a bank, and the sculptor was the esteemed Peter Lenk. There’s a little history lesson on the pedestal, with satirical reliefs...
This fabulous Baroque church from 1713 took the place of an earlier Medieval building wrecked in a storm in 1703. Straight away the floor-plan is unusual as it is in the shape of a creek cross, with nave, choir and transept all at roughly equal length. The other remarkable thing about the church is that it was the funerary church of the ruling Hous...

- Admire world-renowned art pieces in the Staatliches Museum. A visit to Schwerin, Germany is not complete without a visit to the state’s own museums and galleries.
- Enjoy German tea time. In Germany, we have this habit (especially on the weekends) of doing “Kaffee und Kuchen” (coffee and cake). About 3-4pm, we Germans love to do some socialising/meeting with friends and family over shared slices of cake (from the bakery or self made) and freshly brewed coffee.
