Löwenmarkt

Löwenmarkt is a central plaza in Schwerin, notable for its architectural diversity and historical significance. The square is framed by buildings like the porticoed ‘New Building’ constructed in the 1780s, the Tudor-style Town Hall, and facades reflecting late classicist and half-timbered styles. The plaza also holds poignant memorials to victims of Nazi persecution in the form of ‘Stolpersteine’. A restaurant with outdoor seating provides views of the square and the nearby cathedral. The market frequently hosts events, including street markets offering crafts and local goods.
