Definitely visit! The buildings on the island are worth seeing, you can have a coffee with a picturesque view and just let your gaze wander over the water. You can find out more here:

Highly recommended! Here, the experience of nature and traces of the past combine in an idyllic way. Mirow Palace and Park are part of an entire ensemble on the palace island. There are two other architectural highlights: the Renaissance gatehouse and the Johanniter Church, which also houses the family crypt of the Strelitz ducal house.

The palace has a fascinating history. At its core, it still consists of parts of a previous building from 1708, which was partially destroyed in a fire in 1742. The Baroque ballroom, which still exists today, dates from 1710. The current building was erected between 1749 and 1752 on behalf of Adolf Friedrich III according to plans by Christoph Julius Löwe. It is a small, two-story structure with an H-shaped floor plan, flanked by short, risalit-like wings. The facades of the eleven-aisled palace are rather plainly designed, with simple gables on the risalits. The interior of the palace was inspired by 18th-century French country palaces. The palace is said to have once been furnished with valuable furnishings by artists who also worked at Sanssouci, but today, little of this remains. After the ducal family left, the palace was repeatedly left unused for long periods and was mainly used for burials in the nearby princely crypt.

A bike tour to the castle island of Mirow is a great way to actively explore the beautiful surroundings. The Mecklenburg Lake District offers numerous bike paths that lead comfortably to the island. Along the way, you can discover the picturesque nature, the lakes, and the charming villages along the way.

When we hit Mirow on our tour, we were surprised and impressed by the castle. Rheinsberg is bigger and more magnificent, but this one in Mirow has its very own charm.

The castle island consists of the castle Mirow, the cavalier house or 3-queens palace and the Johanniterkirche.
Each is individually to visit and costs entrance. At the Johanniterkirche, only the ascent of the tower costs admission, entering the interior is free. You can also buy a combined ticket, which costs € 9 for adults.

The actual castle is the first house. It was renovated in 2005-2014. It gives insights into the way of life and the history of the Dukes and Duchesses of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

The Cavalierhaus or 3-Queens-Palais shows in particular the life of Sophie-Charlotte and the sisters Luise and Frederike. In this house is also the cafe.

The Johanniterkirche is the family tomb of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, with the exception of the Last Duke. He committed suicide in 1918 or death is unexplained and is buried in the love island.
