State Capital Schwerin

Germany's Smallest State Capital

Since its foundation by Henry the Lion, Mecklenburg's oldest city has always been the navel of this state. Set in the middle of an idyllic water landscape, the blue of the lakes has always dominated. They take up a quarter of the city's area and in the middle of Lake Schwerin "swims" the imposing castle.

UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Schwerin Residence Ensemble, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2024, is a fascinating testimony to the history and culture of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With the magnificent Schwerin Palace in the center, surrounded by lakes and historic gardens, this ensemble embodies the perfect harmony of architecture and nature. The impressive buildings and carefully tended gardens invite visitors to immerse themselves in the glorious past and experience the beauty of this unique cultural heritage.

Floating Fairy Tale Castle

The castle "floats" on a small island in the large Schwerin Lake. Fairytale-like, graceful and filigree at the same time, it towers proudly and full of dignity out of Germany's fourth largest lake. The impressive ancestral gallery, royal state rooms and the orangery are not to be missed. Where once the dukes ruled, the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has its seat today.

A Stroll Through the City from a Picture Book

Stroll through the streets of Schwerin and you will see one architectural beauty after another. The oldest building in the city is the Gothic cathedral - one of the most beautiful and powerful brick churches in Germany. By the way, the 117-meter-high tower of the church, which was completed in 1416, was only added a good 100 years ago.

Otherwise, the city is rather characterized by the Baroque and the historicizing styles of the 19th century. For example, the town hall opposite the cathedral. With its Tudor-style façade, it is reminiscent of an English castle. In grand-ducal Schwerin, even the train station and the post office are a feast for the eyes. From the modern shopping streets in the city center, you can walk along romantic riverside promenades.

Cultural Enjoyment

In the city of the seven lakes, you will find true cultural treasures - as far as the eye can see: For example, in what is probably Schwerin's most beautiful square, the "Old Garden", you will find the traditional Mecklenburg State Theater - together with the painting gallery of the State Museum, it stands as a symbol for the popular city of music and art.

Numerous major events such as the Schwerin Summer of Culture, the Schwerin Castle Festival, the Film Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival on the Pfaffenteich, as well as top-class exhibitions and concerts entice visitors to take a city break in the state capital with its fairytale flair throughout the year.
