Bordering Brandenburg to the south, the former Mecklenburg-Strelitz District (nowadays part of the Mecklenburg Lake District) sits to the south of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Almost completely surrounding the city of Neubrandenburg, this region sits to the east of the Müritz National Park and is filled with lakes and swamps.

The 13th century Stargard castle sits on one of the few hill-tops in the region overlooking the town of Neustrelitz. This architectural gem is filled with Baroque beauty around every corner.
There was a splendid palace here too, but it was destroyed by fire—fortunately its ornate landscaped gardens still survive for you to visit.
Stargarder Land is a small wine growing region, tucked away in the north-east of the former Mecklenburg-Strelitz District. Being so far north, it can only be used to make “lower grade” wines such as table wines—known as Mecklenburger Landwein. However, I’m sure they are still worth trying with your local meals here, and you won’t be disappointed! :-)
