The Story of the Schweriner Schloss

    The idea ghost of the palace of Schwerin began when Niklot came to found the first bases of Mecklenburg. The thought of the castle/palace was there. I believe. Until it finally had it's shape of today probably between the 18th-20th century. It was built, burned, has been a Kindergarten and is a museum now. Before all that it was what first attracted me to Schwerin when I'd known I'd live there. schweriner Schloss

    Today and for the first time in five months I got to be inside with the lovely Irmi (a friend of mine who was 16 times in Egypt!). It was a cold sunny Saturday, -6 to -10 C. The Schwerinersee was frozen, just like my hands, ears and nose. I learnt not to forget my gloves.. the extremely hard way, though. 

I admired the ceilings and floor. I don't know which art is that but it's a kind of art when different types of wood are put together, eg the floor. It wasn't also all wood. there was metal added to wood and paper too, I believe. The style was mainly Roman as they said it was a romantic palace. The portraits of those who lived in it made it more interesting. Imagining that those people went through these halls, ate, slept and all that stuff is exciting. I actually thought Friedrich Franz II or III looked like someone I know.
