Schwerin is divided into several districts. The so-called Old Town (Altstadt) is located around Schwerin Cathedral and is the historic core. Settlement dates back a long way, and ancient traces can still be seen today. Schwerin Cathedral and the area around the market square are worth seeing.

Schwerin Castle is an absolute highlight with a long history. In 1160, the Wendish prince Niklot burned the Slavic fortress and withdrew. Henry the Lion rebuilt it, laying the foundation for the present-day city of Schwerin.

The castle now houses the state parliament and a museum.

The most worth seeing is certainly the Schwerin Castle (= state parliament)

The castle as a highlight???
We Schwerin residents are happy that we can now find it beautiful; our art history teacher was constantly outraged by this hodgepodge of neo-style buildings. But now it's already striving for World Heritage status. It's beautifully situated on an island in the lake... It's impressive... a fairytale castle.

Not for architects or art historians.

The highlight is Schwerin Cathedral with the Paradise Gate, the oldest surviving piece of architecture in Schwerin. Inside, there are a few things to see (brass gravestones of the bishops von Bülow, an epitaph from the workshop of Peter Vischer, a 15th-century Loste altar, and a very beautiful Romantic organ by Ladegast. In the summer, there's free organ music on Mondays at lunchtime.
The best thing about Schwerin is its location! There's little that's old...
...and you can also eat well...
and swim, of course!
