A castle, a park, a lake – this romantic combination is more widespread in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern than in any other European region. Between green hills, dense forests and colorful meadows lie around 2,000 castles, manor houses and manor houses picturesquely nestled in romantic parks and the vast landscape between the Baltic Sea coast and the Mecklenburg Lake District.
Around 300 of these stately properties invite visitors to stroll, relax and enjoy themselves as museums, concert halls and event venues or as stylish hostels. Some are also very popular as romantic wedding venues.

The most imposing residences have been left behind by the Dukes of Mecklenburg: The Renaissance palace of Güstrow, the baroque complex of the town of Ludwigslust, the Schloss Schwerin as a prime example of romantic historicism and the classicist palace of Hohenzieritz were built primarily for representative purposes . This was followed by entire town ensembles such as Putbus and Neustrelitz, as well as noble summer residences and playful hunting lodges such as Granitz and Gelbensande.
These grand and royal estates offer visitors fascinating insights and views - starting from the panoramic views of the Baltic Sea island of Rügen, from the 1000-year history of the Mecklenburg dukes to the most extensive collection of Dutch paintings from the Golden Age in Europe.
