Directly opposite the castle, from the main street, it is a nice mood for the castle.

The spaciously designed palace square is dominated by the basin's cascades, created between 1780 and 1785 by the Bohemian sculptor Rudolf Kaplunger. These sandstone cascades replaced the original wooden cascade. The figurative decorations represent the river gods of the Rögnitz and the Stör. The Ludwigslust Canal was built between 1756 and 1760 as a 26 km long connecting axis. It connects these two rivers and enables the Baroque water features. In 2008, the cascade underwent its first comprehensive renovation, and now not only the cascade but also the figures shine in new splendor. The water features are not only worth seeing in summer; on cold winter days, the watercourses become icy works of art. The Palace Square is also adorned with several beautiful half-timbered buildings, the monument to Frederick Francis I, and the "Alte Wache" (Old Guardhouse), built as a guardhouse and detention center. From here, you can enjoy one of the city's most beautiful views: from the palace to the cascades and further to the city church.
