The castle of Schwerin is the cradle of the oranjes, prince Hendrik, the grandfather of queen Beatrix was born in the castle and in the castle Hohenzieritz near Waren, whereQueen Louise of Prussia died 200 years ago.
The towns and villages are rich in old and venerable castles, fortified castles, mansion-houses and manor houses, to which magnificent chestnut, oak or linden-tree avenues often lead.
Each of these old buildings has its own, often legendary, history.
Today they are open to visitors and offer fascinating insights into the past. Valuable collections of courtly art, furniture, miniatures and gilded decorations in Ludwigslust cardboard – a special kind of papier mâché - are among the surviving and well worth seeing items. The castle gardens, laid out with great attention to detail, complement the architectural ensembles and are a great attraction for visitors.
The smal castle in Mirow is the birth place of queen Charlotte (1744 - 1818)

the mecklenburg lake district
is the unique blue natural paradies, the land of thousand lakes, the biggest networked lake territory in europe.
In the middle of all is the lake "Mueritz", with 112 km² the largest lake in germany.
the small towns
like Waren (Müritz) prove that the Mecklenburg Lakes have more than just beautifull nature to offer. Marina passages and the proud "old towns" like the little town Malchow or Krakow are nice places to stay.
A visit to the church and the cloister of Malchow is well worth it and the town of Plau am See is also wounderful place for the Mecklenburg tourist.
