Sights Mirow

	Inner city:
	Chateau	The baroque chateau was built to plan by Christoph Julius Loewe between 1749 and 1760. The simple building has a costly interior decor. The dining hall with its sumptuous stucco decoration, the coloured marble wall panels, the Red Salon with its silk wall covering and the living areas with wall coverings painted in Chinese style are all well worth seeing.
	Chateau Park	A stroll in the English Park with its tall old trees is an experience at any time of the year. A visit to the romantic little "lover’s island" is also a must. This is also the final resting place of the last ruling Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, who departed this life in 1918. The grand ducal crypt lies in the Johaniter Church which was rebuilt after being completely destroyed in 1945.
	Excursions:
	D-16829 Rheinsberg (Brandenburg)	Rheinsberg Chateau Frederician Rococo began evolving with the acquisition in 1734 of the supremacy by the Prussian King Frederic Wilhelm I (1688-1740), and the subsequent rebuilding and new erections carried out on the plain Renaissance buildings (built after 1566) to transform it into the residence. The Unit Castle Rheinberg and Grounds provided considerable impulses for buildings and gardens in Berlin and Potsdam Sanssouci.
	DIE SCHEUNE (The Barn) in Bollewick	Germany’s biggest foundling stone barn, the market place for Mecklenburgian products with handicrafts, culture, stores and workshops. Thousands of people always and always flock to its varied program.
	Botanical Garden near Granzow	The botanical garden was laid down for research purposes at the end of the 19^th. century in Erbsland near Granzow. Some of the exotic species trees like the giant firs, over 40 m tall, were brought in from abroad.
	Mueritz-National Park	The Mueritz, the largest lake in Germany, and a hundred more lakes dominate the landscape with large tracts of woodland in this 310 km² national park. Ancient woodland conditions prevail here in the self sown beech, oak and conifer woods, with a rich variety of native flora and fauna such as black storks, cranes, cormorants, various deer and wild swine.
	Nature Park in Feldberg Lake District	This 360 km² nature park is notable for its wooded expanses crystal clear lakes, flat meadows and steep hills. 14 partially traditional nature reserves make up the nature park. Guided tours through the nature reserve are always eventful in the "Heilige Hallen", "Hullerbusch" and "Hauptmannsberg" as are the excursions through the Feldberg Country Park.
	Monastery Church in Wanzka	The Cistercians founded a monastery in Wanzka in the latter half of the 13^th.century. The monastery church was built in the 13./14th.century. Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel built the ornate west facade between 1840 and 1843.
