wonderful castle well kept in shape for german history perfectly situated at a lake - looks almost like being at the sea parking a bit difficult, suggest taking one of the little restaurants just before to the right of the lake - they also have a great view, all you need More

As a South African we really don't have the type of cultural heritage sites that are found in Europe. Therefore this palace took my breath away and I found the grounds impressive as well. The inside didn't really tickle my fancy but one can take their time wandering around the palace, the 'Orangerie' and the wave park. However this is... More

A visit to Schwerin was not on my bucket list, but it is close to Hamburg. We should have just done a day trip. It is pretty boring once you have gone over the castle More

Thie review might be a little one-sided but I can't help it. When you have a castle named after you I can be biassed can't I?? What a wonderful place. After four visits to Europe, I finally managed to get here. The grounds and exterior were magnificent. The interior was very well presented especially after fire damage. It is only... More

Finding parking close to the castle was very easy - and we found both covered and open air parking. At the castle, any and every kind of information (including descriptions in the castle's museum) was written in both German and English. The castle is situated in a scenic location on the shore of a lake. It is surrounded by a... More

My wife and I were debating whether to visit Berlin for a few hours or go to Schwerin and visit the castle. I'm glad we chose the latter. The castle is stunning, the pictures speak for themselves. The interior is not as impressive as the outside plus they won't let you take pictures of the inside but I would still... More

Walking up to the castle is a very impressive sight... It looks very well looked after and it's big and has style. Inside, from what I understand it is also a parliament building and there is a lot of modernisations and not too much information - when we got a ticket we weren't given a map or any information and...

Parts of the castle cannot be seen as they are used as Parliament. The gardens are lovely and the location superb. More

The castle is well worth a visit even though only a small part is open to the public. Two floors of one side of the castle are open. People were using audio-guides but we just walked around. Each room had an information board in both German and English and told you just enough information. There were not too many people... More
