The Schwerin Palace Gardens are among the most beautiful gardens in Northern Germany, situated directly on the shores of Lake Schwerin and surrounded by the fairytale-like Schwerin Palace. Designed in the 19th century in the style of an English landscape garden, they impress visitors with their expansive lawns, magnificent flowerbeds, mature tree-lined avenues, and artful water features. Particularly worth seeing are the orangery, the palace bridge, and the numerous sculptures that lend the gardens an elegant flair. The palace gardens invite leisurely strolls and offer picturesque views of the palace and the surrounding lakes – a place where history, art, and nature blend harmoniously.

The lake lies between the Lower Ostorf Lake and the larger Schwerin Lake and is surrounded by dense groups of trees, reed beds, and meadows. From the surrounding paths and viewpoints, there are expansive views across the water, which displays different moods depending on the season.
