Schwerin Castle (German: Schweriner Schloss, also known as Schwerin Palace, German pronunciation:[ʃvɛʁiːn']) is a schloss located in the city of Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state, Germany. It is situated on an island in the city's main lake, Lake Schwerin.
For centuries, the castle was the home of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg and later Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Today parts of it serve as the residence of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament (German: Landtag) while other parts are open for tourists.
Major parts of the current castle were built between 1845 and 1857, as a collaboration between the eminent historicist architects Gottfried Semper, Friedrich August Stüler, Georg Adolf Demmler and Ernst Friedrich Zwirner. The castle is regarded as one of the most important works of Romantic historicism in Europe and is designated to become a World Heritage Site. It is nicknamed the "Neuschwanstein of the North".[1]
