Residential area of Schwerin
Most of the Schwerin residential area was built in the first half of the 19th century in the then capital of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in what is now northeastern Germany. The residential area consists of 38 parts, including the Grand Duke's residence and estate, cultural and religious buildings, and the Pfaffenteich landscape lake. The parks, canals, ponds, lakes and public spaces meet all the needs of the capital of the principality in terms of administration, defense, service infrastructure, transportation, culture and political influence. These buildings form a unique architectural complex that reflects the historical context of the spirit of the time and showcases the neo-Renaissance, neo-Baroque and neo-classical art styles influenced by the Italian Renaissance.
