Güstrow Castle, Renaissance castle and museum in Güstrow, Germany.

The castle features quadrangular construction with elaborate stucco decorations throughout its halls and a Baroque-classicist gatehouse at its entrance point.

Built in 1558 for Duke Ulrich of Mecklenburg, the castle served as a residence until 1695 when the Mecklenburg-Güstrow lineage ended.

The castle museum displays medieval artifacts, Flemish paintings, and hunting-themed stucco artwork in its banquet hall, representing northern German aristocratic life.

Visitors can explore the castle museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with wheelchair access throughout the premises.

The basement rooms contain a substantial collection of hunting weapons from the Duchy of Mecklenburg, displayed in their original medieval vaults.
