Schloss Wiligrad

Schloss Wiligrad is a Renaissance château situated between Lübstorf and Bad Kleinen near Lake Schwerin. The building displays Northern Renaissance architecture with Hanseatic-style gables and a prominent tower that anchors the castle's profile.

The castle was commissioned by Duke Jean-Albert of Mecklenburg and built between 1896 and 1898. This construction period coincided with his regency in Schwerin and expanded the ducal estates of the region.

The castle has functioned as an art center and cultural venue for the region since the early 1990s. Visitors can experience rotating exhibitions, musical performances, and community events throughout the year.

The castle is located in a quieter area between two towns and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should plan extra time to explore the expansive park grounds and enjoy the shoreline views of the surrounding lake.

The estate includes a sprawling park of about 200 hectares with walking paths, historic garden features, and contemporary artworks scattered along the lake shore. This landscape blends the castle's architectural history with modern artistic installations set within nature.
