Hohenzieritz Castle in the Mecklenburg Lake District is an early neoclassical building with great historical significance. Originally built as a manor house in the 18th century, it was rebuilt and expanded under Duke Carl II of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. It became famous primarily because Queen Louise of Prussia died here on July 19, 1810. Her death chamber is now accessible as a memorial. The extensive castle park, one of the oldest landscaped gardens in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is also particularly charming. It was laid out in the English style starting in 1771. With monuments such as the Luisentempel (St. Louis Temple) and its open layout, it offers impressive views of the surrounding hilly landscape. Today, Hohenzieritz Castle is not only a memorial to Queen Louise, but also the administrative headquarters of the Müritz National Park and a worthwhile destination for those interested in culture and nature.

Hohenzieritz Palace is idyllically situated in the Mecklenburg Lake District and is best known as the place where Prussian Queen Louise died, who died here in 1810 at the age of just 34. The palace had previously been the summer residence of her father, Duke Carl II of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Shortly after her death, her death chamber was converted into a memorial that commemorates her to this day. Originally built as a manor house between 1747 and 1751, the building was expanded into a three-wing palace complex starting in 1790. The extensive palace park, one of the earliest landscaped gardens in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is particularly impressive. Another architectural highlight was the so-called "Egyptian Hall," which Duke Carl II had designed in the Egyptian style of the time. The palace and park offer an atmospheric historical ensemble that can be easily combined with excursions into the surrounding area.

Just below there is a nice little snack bar with beer garden

The manor house (the so-called "Old House") was probably rebuilt in the Renaissance style between 1550 and 1570, or a new building called the "New House" was added. It is not known to what extent the old structure was integrated. The manor house was built at a right angle. A stair tower and an entrance area were probably added in the corner between the two wings at the end of the 19th century. (Wikipedia)

Very scary stuff...perfect as a film set...

Wesenberg Castle, a high medieval motte castle in the northeast of the town of Wesenberg, is a historical highlight in the Mecklenburg Lake District district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. With its impressive history, which dates back to the middle of the 13th century, the castle today offers a fascinating insight into the region's past. The castle was originally built to protect the town of "Wesenberge" and has experienced numerous eventful events over the centuries, including Mecklenburg-Brandenburg disputes and the consequences of the Thirty Years' War, which led to the extensive destruction of the complex. The torso of the keep, known as the Fangelturm, and parts of the south wall have been preserved. Today the castle is owned by the town and houses the Wesenberg Tourist Office and a local history room, which displays a collection on fishing, forestry and regional history. The castle's rooms are also used as a forestry museum. In addition, the traditional castle festival takes place every year on the first weekend in July with a historical parade, knightly plays, dancing and fireworks, attracting visitors from near and far. Visitors to Wesenberg Castle can climb the preserved tower and enjoy a wonderful view of the town and the lake from there. The idyllic location, the well-preserved grounds and the diverse cultural offerings make the castle a worthwhile destination for history buffs, culture enthusiasts and anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Mecklenburg Lake District. When visiting Wesenberg Castle, visitors should make sure they have appropriate equipment, especially if they want to climb the tower. Information on opening times, admission prices and special events can be obtained in advance from the Wesenberg Tourist Office or on the Wesenberg town website.
