Schwerin Castle also known as Schwerin Palace 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. Major parts of the current castle were built between 1845 and 1857. Like Alcázar of Segovia, Schwerin Castle was one of the many real palaces who inspired Disney’s Cinderella Castle.

A place to share cool castles!

Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:

  • Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
  • Best website (official or otherwise)
  • Some sort of map link
  • Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
  • History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted

More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.
