Schlossinsel Schloss Description
On the Schlossinsel (Palace Island) in Schwerin is the Grand-Ducal Palace, which ranks as one of the finest 19th C. buildings in the region. It was given its present form, modeled on the French château of Chambord, in 1843-57. Laid out on a pentagonal plan, with numerous towers and turrets, it combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque features. The interior is sumptuously appointed, with fine intarsia floors, silk wallpaper and richly gilded ornament. Particularly imposing, on the main floor, are the Throne Room, the Ancestral Portrait Gallery, the Smoking Room and the Adjutants' Room.
