Schloss Schwerin

I had the opportunity to travel to the town of Schwerin, there is a magnificent palace, or Schloss, in German. The palace is situated on a small island, and is incredibly beautiful. I wish i had more time to explore the surrounding town, as it kept in the traditional old building style. The palace was huge, but unfortunately most of it was still under renovation, the wing that they let us in housed the throne room, and the ducal wall. This wall had all the paintings of the past rulers from the 1100s. (My memory is a bit fuzzy on this detail, forgive me if I am wrong). But overall, it was cheap to enter, I believe 4 Euros, and another 3 Euro to take pictures, and I was in! There was even a smaller part of the Schloss dedicated to the porcelain collection. Which by the way, is very very old, and they have ALOT of it. Please enjoy the photographs below. 

Also, here is the website for the Schloss. ENJOY!
