Footage includes Schwerin Castle-Gardens located in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
"The castle garden in Schwerin is considered as one of the most impressive baroque gardens in Northern Germany. Wherever you go and wherever you look, you will see something new, perfectly arranged, with a great attention to detail. The castle garden offers the best of garden design on 1.8 hectares: elements of English landscape design by the lakeside of the island, followed by Italian architecture towards the Palace building with its terraces, typical of Roman parks and villas.
Originally constructed as a French-style pleasance, the garden began to transform in 1748. Architect Jean Legeay envisioned the cross channel to be the center, surrounded by sculptures from the manufacture of the famous Saxon sculptor Balthasar Permoser.
Based on plans by Lenné (the Prussian "Gardening Pope") the garden was expanded in the 19th century. While the general atmosphere remained baroque, the immediate surroundings, including the Greenhouse Garden and the shore area of the lake, became a classical English design. Today, the garden spans across more than 50 acres that are waiting to be explored and will let you experience highlights from several eras of ducal horticulture." (Tourismusverband Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V.)
