6Schwerin Castle, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Schwerin Castle, set on an island in Lake Schwerin, is a dreamlike palace that seems to float on water. This romantic castle, often referred to as the “Neuschwanstein of the North,” is surrounded by lush gardens, tranquil lakes, and dense forests. Built in a mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, the castle’s golden towers and turrets make it one of the most beautiful palaces in Germany. The interiors are equally impressive, with ornate rooms and lavish decorations, but it’s the setting of Schwerin Castle that makes it truly magical.
