About About the place

Schwerin Cathedral, a prominent landmark in the city center, is a striking example of North German Gothic architecture constructed primarily of red brick. Originally founded in the 12th century, the current structure dates largely from the 14th to 18th centuries, having survived WWII. The cathedral features impressive vaulted interiors, notable stained glass windows, and a crypt. Visitors can ascend the 219 steps of the tower for 360-degree views of Schwerin and the surrounding lakes. The cathedral also houses the tombs of the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It continues to function as a place of worship and hosts occasional choir performances.

The cathedral is hundreds of years old and has a magnificent architecture. The murals and the walls are simply stunning. We got a chance to witness the prayer ceremony and it was divine. Do visit this place and do enjoy it.

This was our 5th time visiting this camp and the scenery and the service including the facilities are just awesome. You have to look out for the best time to visit the camp because winters could be too cold and for some not a feasible option. Even though you can enjoy the winterland, you have to be fully equipped with everything.
