What it is
Schwerin Palace occupies an island between the Schweriner See and the Burgsee. It was the residence of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg and its present fairy-tale look, with towers, turrets and a great golden dome, dates from the 19th century. One part is now the seat of the regional parliament; the other, the palace museum, with the state rooms, the throne room and the grand dukes' collections.
