Tips

Mirow Castle was built around 1709 as a widow's residence for Duchess Christiane Aemilie Anthonie of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Master builder was Joachim Borchmann. In the heart of the building, the high baroque ballroom by the Italian plasterer Giovanni Battista Clerici has been preserved in all its glory. Hardly any visitor would expect such a brilliant hall given the external modesty of the castle. The unexpectedly magnificent works of art also include those of the Frederician rococo. Prussia's entry into the Seven Years' War brought building activities in the neighboring kingdom to an almost complete standstill. The artists now looked elsewhere for new commissions. This historical circumstance led to the beginning of a second remodeling phase in Mirow under Duchess Elisabeth Albertine, who had her apartment furnished with original Frederician interior decorations of the highest quality from 1756 to 1761. Mirow Castle thus joins the magnificent chain of one of the most famous decorative phenomena on the European continent in the 18th century. In addition, hand-embroidered wallpaper or those with scattered flowers expand the valuable range of Mirow furnishings.

It has been a museum since renovations were completed in 2014. It shows the history of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and provides insights into the lifestyle of that time.
Admission costs €6 per person and a combination ticket (castle, cavalier house, ascent to the tower of the Johanniter Kirche) €9 per person.

Interesting and beautifully presented exhibition. My highlight is the different wall coverings as well as the wall construction from the framework to the finished wall covering.
