おとぎ話のようなシュヴェリーン城

You are cordially invited to join us on a scenic 90-minute coach journey to an even more scenic destination, one of Germany’s most romantic castles. Castle Schwerin sits on its own island in the lake of its namesake town, the capital of Mecklenburg. You’ll first see it from a relaxing lake cruise, then by guided tour as you enter this truly spectacular royal residence, topped with more decorative towers and turrets than even the most audacious French chateau. Touring this museum-like former home of the Dukes of Mecklenburg, you’ll gain many insights into the life of Pomeranian royalty – and it wasn’t modest. Intricate wood carvings, fine silk wallpapers and masterfully painted ancestral portraits are everywhere. While the structure dates back only to the mid-1800s, Schloss Schwerin evokes a time that is far older – and has a fantasy style that’s pure Baroque-era splendor. Once your castle tour is completed, take some free time in Schwerin city center before the return to Warnemunde pier. Perhaps you’ll browse for mementos of your visit or simply find an inviting place to sit back and relax while nibbling on a local specialty – accompanied by beer, of course. This is Germany, after all.
