Alter Garten

Alter Garten is Schwerin’s elegant historic square, framed by some of the city’s most important landmarks, including the State Museum, State Theatre, and views toward Schwerin Castle across the water. Once a ducal ceremonial space, it remains a good place to appreciate the city’s architectural character and cultural history in a compact setting. Visit if you enjoy grand civic squares, classical architecture, and an easy starting point for exploring Schwerin’s old town and lakeside sights.
