Güstrow Castle, Renaissance castle and museum in Güstrow, Germany.
Güstrow Castle is a Renaissance building in the town of Güstrow with a quadrangular layout and elaborate stucco decorations throughout its halls. A Baroque-classical gatehouse marks the main entrance.
The castle was built in 1558 for Duke Ulrich of Mecklenburg as a princely residence. Its role changed after the Mecklenburg-Güstrow line ended in 1695.
The castle displays collections that reflect aristocratic life in northern Germany. The hunting motifs in the stucco decorations of the banquet halls show how central hunting was to the ruling family's identity.
The castle operates as a museum you can visit during regular opening hours. Wheelchair access is available throughout most areas, making it accessible for visitors with mobility concerns.
The basement contains an extensive collection of hunting weapons from the duchy period, displayed within their original medieval vaults. These arms reveal the deep hunting traditions of the family and are rarely preserved this way elsewhere.
