    The former pleasure garden of Schwerin Castle is still a worthwhile place to visit today and has lots of eye-catchers.

        The palace gardens in Schwerin are considered one of the most beautiful Baroque gardens in Northern Germany. Originally designed as a pleasure garden based on the French model, they underwent their distinctive design from 1748 onward. The Kreuzkanal (Cross Canal) was designed by landscape architect Jean Legeay, adorned with sculptures from the workshop of the Saxon court sculptor Balthasar Permoser.

        According to plans by Lenné, the palace gardens were expanded around the middle of the 19th century. The basic Baroque structure was retained, while the surrounding area,
        the greenhouse garden, kitchen gardens, and the riverside areas, were landscaped according to English models. The garden was largely spared from an intended conversion into a public park
        in the second half of the 20th century.

        It now covers an area of approximately 25 hectares.

                Behind the castle, the castle garden is enchanting; here too, no expense was spared, with water channels, baroque rows of trees and sandstone figures by the Dresden master Balthasar Permoser.

                  The Schwerin Palace Gardens are among the most beautiful gardens in Northern Germany, situated directly on the shores of Lake Schwerin and surrounded by the fairytale-like Schwerin Palace. Designed in the 19th century in the style of an English landscape garden, they impress visitors with their expansive lawns, magnificent flowerbeds, mature tree-lined avenues, and artful water features. Particularly worth seeing are the orangery, the palace bridge, and the numerous sculptures that lend the gardens an elegant flair. The palace gardens invite leisurely strolls and offer picturesque views of the palace and the surrounding lakes – a place where history, art, and nature blend harmoniously.
